Abstract

In 2003, the College of Veterinary Medicine underwent a re-accreditation review and was granted limited accreditation for a period of two years. The College was asked to address declining teaching hospital facilities, the need for a new isolation facility for animals with infectious diseases, and the need to maintain appropriate numbers of clinical faculty in the teaching hospital. The accrediting agency required the College to file annual interim reports on progress toward correcting the accreditation deficiencies; it also granted the College a two-year extension to correct the accreditation deficiencies. In 2007, on the basis of the annual interim report and the report of the focused site visit, the College of Veterinary Medicine received full accreditation until the next site visit in Fall 2010. The maximum period awarded by the accrediting agency is seven years. This report addresses the Board’s Strategic Plan objective (1.1) to “offer high-quality programs through ongoing program improvement for undergraduate, graduate, professional, and non-degree students and special school students.”
