HISTORY

In response to the demand for more animal technicians, the Bachelor of Science in Animal Technology was under the Department of Animal (BSAT) was offered on June 15, 1977 (MSAC Adm. Memo No. 2, s. 1977) under the Department of Animal and Veterinary Science of the College of Agriculture. Seven years later, the integrated ladder-type BSAT-DVM curriculum was approved by the Board of Trustees (Res. No. 7, s. 1982). 

In 1984, the Department was transformed into the College Veterinary Medicine (Res. No. 65, s. 1985) that offered the BSAT and DVM curriculum. In March 1997, the BSAT curriculum was phased out (Res. no. 764, s. 1997) and only the DVM curriculum is now offered. 

The College has three departments, namely: Department of Basic Sciences, Department of Para-clinical Sciences and Department of Clinical Sciences. The program is periodically evaluated by various accrediting bodies like the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC), Technical Panel for Agricultura Education (TPAE), Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines, Inc.
