The Best Veterinary Medicine Schools

The study of veterinary medicine is a competitive field. Veterinary school rankings are based on three main factors: a peer assessment score, the total research funding allocation and the ratio of faculty resources to students. Based on a 2007 U.S. News and World Report, the best veterinary medicine schools are Cornell University, Colorado State University and University of California--Davis.
  1. Cornell University

    • Established in 1894, Cornell University sits in the heart of the Finger Lakes region in Ithaca, New York. Widely recognized in areas of public health, biomedical research, animal medicine and veterinary education, Cornell has invested in over 400,000 square miles of facilities to achieve its aim to advance human and animal health through teaching. Cornell's facilities include the Animal Health Diagnostic Center, Animal Hospital, Baker Institute for Animal Health, Feline Health Center and Sprecher Institute for Comparative Cancer Research. Veterinary medicine students interested in internship and residency programs can do advanced work in clinical veterinary specialties aside from master's and doctorate degrees.
