The evaluation report was overwhelmingly positive, and the school earned
commendations on all 11 accreditation standards for organization, finances,
facilities, clinical resources, library and information resources, students,
admissions, faculty, curriculum, research and outcomes assessment.
The report’s recommendations include expediting the planned replacement of the Tufts Ambulatory Farm Clinic in Woodstock, Conn., which provides students practical experience in a setting typical of most large animal practices in New England, and continued expansion of graduate student recruitment.
The veterinary school also received top rankings in a recent study by
the Association of American Medical Veterinary Colleges of the nation’s
28 veterinary schools, including being ranked number one out of the 28
schools in the mean combined verbal and quantitative GRE scores of the
entering class, and the top ranking for the number of graduates matched
for internship and residency programs for the last three years.
