The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Council on Education (COE) is the accreditor of veterinary medical programs.

As a new veterinary medical program, we were granted provisional accreditation by the AVMA COE in March 2021.

Our School will remain on Provisional Accreditation until 2025, when the inaugural class is near graduation, at which time we anticipate receiving Full Accreditation status based on AVMA COE evaluation. Students graduating from a school or college with provisional accreditation are afforded all the privileges of students from fully accredited programs.

Texas Tech University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award baccalaureate, masters, and doctorate degrees. Texas Tech University also may offer credentials such as certificates and diplomas at approved degree levels.
