The Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine has been granted the status of Accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Council on Education (COE) in October 2025.

The AVMA COE is the U.S. Department of Education recognized accreditor of veterinary medical programs.

Receiving full accreditation means we have achieved national recognition for meeting the rigorous Standards of Accreditation. It also provides assurance for students that the education provided will prepare them for their licensure to practice as a veterinarian in the U.S.

The status of Accredited is granted for up to seven years. We anticipate that our next site visit by the AVMA COE will be in 2032.

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.
