What are good veterinary schools?
Scoring 4.5 out of a possible 5.0, Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine ranked first in the nation in U.S. News and World Report’s 2008 edition of “America’s Best Graduate Schools.” The rankings, compiled every four years, are determined through surveys sent to deans, administrators and faculty members at schools accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). The veterinary schools at Colorado State University and the University of California-Davis were close behind the leader, tying for No. 2 in the 2008 rankings with scores of 4.3 each. The University of Pennsylvania’s veterinary program took the fourth spot, and four schools tied for the No. 5 position – North Carolina State University, The Ohio State University, Texas A&M University-College Station and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Rounding out the list were Michigan State University at No. 9 and the University of Minnesota at No. 10.
