Policies

The college- level policies contained on this page apply to DVM students in the WSU program. General WSU policies also apply to all students.

Accreditation – The AVMA Council on Education® (AVMA COE®) accredits DVM or equivalent educational programs. The AVMA COE assures that minimum standards in veterinary medical education are met by all AVMA-accredited colleges of veterinary medicine, and that students enrolled in those colleges receive an education which will prepare them for entry-level positions in the profession. The WSU College of Veterinary Medicine underwent accreditation review in 2024 and the current status is accredited. The next accreditation review will be in 2031.
