Over 6,000 veterinarians have graduated from the school, the only veterinary school in Pennsylvania. The school awards the Veterinariae Medicinae Doctoris (VMD) degree rather than a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM). It also offers a VMD-PhD program, a VMD-MBA, and a VMD-MPH program.
Penn Vet is the only veterinary school in the United States that was a direct outgrowth of the University's School of Medicine, in this case Penn Med.[2]
Since 1935, Penn Vet has offered courses for advanced work in veterinary pathology leading to master and doctoral degrees in conjunction with and cooperation by Penn Med.[3]
