Long Island University is currently building a college of veterinary medicine. The new college, expected to open in fall 2020, will house one of the four northeastern programs. The college will also serve as the base for a newly formed Veterinary Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Management Center. The center will offer students hands-on training opportunities and research opportunities.
The College of Veterinary Medicine expects to enroll approximately 400 students annually. It will be situated on the LIU Post campus in Brookville (N.Y.), about 27 miles east from New York City.
The school has formed partnerships with more 50 affiliated veterinary institutions. Practical experience will be gained by interning at local veterinary hospitals and biomedical centers. Students will learn how to perform surgery, diagnose, and provide intensive care. They will also work on local farms, gaining real-world experience in animal care and treatment.
A number of faculty members have expressed concern about the future development of the new veterinarian program. Some faculty are optimistic about the program's future.
One of the reasons why the new program is being built is to offer more students the opportunity to enter the field. At the moment, there are only two colleges offering a four-year program in veterinary medicine. The University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, both offer veterinary programs. These schools are accredited through the American Veterinary Medical Association’s Council on Education.
LIU's annual tuition cost for its veterinary college will amount to $55,000. In order to be admitted, students must have completed 60 credits in college, including veterinary classes. You also have pre-veterinary options. Students who choose this path will take a bachelor's degree before pursuing a veterinary career.
LIU tuition is comparable to other veterinary schools. Long Island Veterinary Medical Association might offer a scholarship for some students.
The program's mission is to promote professionalism and competence in a wide variety of veterinary careers. Students will benefit from supervised clinical experiences as well as practical knowledge. They can also be encouraged to serve the community.
The new college will take up 47,000 square feet of space. It is scheduled to be finished in the fall of 2020. The college will have classrooms, an anatomy laboratory, and large animal surgical rooms. Upon graduation, the college will be the first veterinary program in the New York Metro area.
The new veterinary program will be taught by faculty with extensive administrative and research experience. They will promote innovation in veterinary tech, which will help develop professional competencies. They will also encourage the advancement of teaching technology.
Although the college is still developing the veterinary degree, they will start accepting applications in fall 2020. New York State Education Department will assess applicants, and if they meet all requirements, they will be admitted into the program.
