Our DVM program is an outcomes- and competency-based, integrated, core-elective curriculum that serves multiple learning styles and uses community-based experiential learning in the teaching of veterinary medicine.

Students will spend their first three years on the Amarillo Campus and at Mariposa Station gaining the skill, knowledge, and competencies to be successful in their clinical year. The fourth year clinical experience is in a community-based Clinical Learning Network (CLN) located primarily in Texas, with some in New Mexico and beyond.

Students experience highly targeted, hands-on learning with special focus on primary veterinary care to instill in them the necessary confidence and competency to practice veterinary medicine upon graduation.

Per the published curriculum for our school, full-time status for students per term is the equivalent of 12 credits.
