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

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

Developing Schools may remain as Provisionally Accredited for five years. In accordance with published COE policies and procedures we hosted a COE comprehensive site visit during the Spring Semester of 2025 when the inaugural class was in their final semester. We anticipate being granted the status of Accredited in late 2025 after the full COE meets to evaluate the report from our comprehensive site visit.

Students graduating from a school or college with the status of Provisionally Accredited 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.
