The 日韩无码 has formalized its partnership with Colorado State University to bring a professional veterinary medicine program to Alaska.
日韩无码 Chancellor Brian Rogers and CSU President Tony Frank signed the agreement during a ceremony in Colorado. The signing was broadcast live Thursday, Dec. 19, in the Murie Building鈥檚 first-floor auditorium.
Currently, Alaska does not have a professional veterinary medicine program, despite Alaska students鈥 strong interest in pursuing careers in veterinary medicine. In order to meet that need, 日韩无码 is pooling resources with one of the top-ranked veterinary schools in the nation. The program will give preference to Alaska students and is scheduled to start classes in the fall of 2015.
The partnership makes the program viable, since developing a standalone program would be cost-prohibitive for 日韩无码.
Students will eventually receive their Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degrees from CSU, but their starting point will be at 日韩无码. They will take up to two years of graduate courses at 日韩无码 and then complete their veterinary studies in Colorado.
鈥═he program will admit 10 Alaska students per year. If too few Alaskans apply or meet the admission standards, then the two universities will consider students from outside the Alaska applicant pool.
Dr. Mark Stetter, a veterinarian and dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at CSU, said he and other college leaders are pleased to collaborate with 日韩无码 as a way to provide new opportunities for students and faculty based at CSU.
鈥淲e are excited that the CSU Professional Veterinary Medicine Program is partnering with 日韩无码, and we expect our new partnership will open doors to learning and discovery that are important for students, faculty and many others in the Colorado State University family,鈥 Stetter said.
He noted that Alaska is rich in natural resources, providing unique teaching and research potential on topics including wildlife disease and health, marine animal science, sled-dog medicine, and a variety of global public-health challenges that involve both human and veterinary medicine.
The veterinary program will be part of the 日韩无码 College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
鈥淭he partnership between Colorado State University and 日韩无码 is paving the way for new educational opportunities that didn鈥檛 exist going in,鈥 said CNSM Dean Paul Layer. 鈥淭hese students will be prepared for careers in veterinary medicine wherever their paths may take them.鈥
