A new college of veterinary medicine is being constructed by Long Island University (LIU). Long Island University (LIU) is building a new college of veterinary medicine. It will be the first of four northeastern veterinary programs. Additionally, the college will be home to the newly established Veterinary Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Management Center. The center will offer students hands-on training opportunities and research opportunities.
The College of Veterinary Medicine is expected to enroll about 400 students per year. It will be located on LIU's Post campus in Brookville, N.Y., about 27 miles east of New York City.
More than 50 veterinary schools and affiliated organizations have formed partnerships with the school. Internships will give students practical experience at local clinics and biomedical researchers centers. Students will be trained in surgical techniques, diagnostic support, and intensive care. They will also work on local farms, gaining real-world experience in animal care and treatment.
Many members of the faculty are worried about the future direction of the new program in veterinary medicine. Some faculty however are optimistic about its future.
One of the reasons why the new program is being built is to offer more students the opportunity to enter the field. Currently, only two colleges in the country offer a four-year veterinary program. Both Cornell University in Ithaca and the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia offer veterinary programs. These schools have been accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association’s Council on Education.
LIU's annual tuition cost for its veterinary college will amount to $55,000. Students will need to complete about 60 credits of college classes, including veterinary courses, to be eligible for admission. There are also pre-veterinary pathways available. The path is open to students who have completed a bachelor’s degree and are interested in pursuing a career in veterinary medicine.
LIU tuition is more affordable than other veterinary colleges. Long Island Veterinary Medical Association could offer a scholarship.
The program's goal is to foster professionalism and competence in many veterinary careers. Students will learn through practical experiences and be supervised by experienced vets.
The new college will be housed in a 47,000-square-foot facility, which is set to be completed in the fall of 2020. There will be classrooms and an anatomy lab. Large animal surgical suites will also be available. Upon graduation, the college will be the first veterinary program in the New York Metro area.
Faculty with extensive administrative and research experience will be teaching the new veterinary degree program. They will encourage innovation in veterinary technology and support professional competences. They will also promote the development of teaching technologies.
The college will accept applications starting in 2020, even though the veterinary program is still very much in its infancy. New York State Education Department will assess applicants, and if they meet all requirements, they will be admitted into the program.
