What It Means To Be A Rossie

Seeker. Doer. Changemaker.

Are you motivated to make change through veterinary medicine? 

The best candidates for the DVM program at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine have a drive to learn, grow, and make a difference through an intensive, fast-paced DVM program. 

At Ross Vet, your grades and GRE scores only tell us part of your story. It’s your passion for animal welfare, dedication to extraordinary veterinary medicine, and a drive to do better and be better — that’s what makes a Rossie.
