TVMC: GETTING THE JOB DONE FOR TEXAS

Texas A&M University has a premier veterinary medical school that is ranked #1 in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), #4 in the nation, and #10 in the world. More importantly, the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) remains dedicated to “Serving Every Texan Every Day.”

The Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Center (TVMC)—a VMBS partnership with West Texas A&M University (WTAMU), Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU), Tarleton State University, and Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK), with the expertise, leadership, and resources to meet the demand for veterinarians throughout our state—is serving rural and urban areas, protecting our food supply, doing research that matters, providing cost-effective educational and clinical services, and supporting a strong Texas economy.
