EARN YOUR DVM SOONER

Starting the Ross Vet accelerated program in May allows students to graduate from veterinary school nine months sooner than students who wait to start vet school the following September at U.S. schools. That means that by starting vet school in May 2023, you can be a practice-ready DVM as soon as September 2026!

Ross Vet is the only AVMA-accredited vet school with a May semester intake. This allows you to start earning your DVM when you’re ready—whether you’ve graduated early or have taken a gap year.
