In response to the demand for more animal technicians, the Bachelor
of Science in Animal Technology (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). This curriculum offered common courses for the first three
years and thereafter, a student may opt to take up BSAT or DVM degree.
In 1984, the Department was transformed
into the College of Veterinary Medicine(Res. No. 65, s. 1985).
Based of the standard requirement imposed
by the Veterinary Medicine sub-committee of the Technical Panel on Agricultural
Education, the BSAT-DVM curriculum was separated into two distinct degree
programs: a 4-year curriculum leading to the degree Bachelor of Science
in Animal Technology, and a 6-year curriculum leading to Doctor of Veterinary
Medicine.
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.
Since its establishment, the College has
contributed quality manpower which dominates the rank and file of major
livestock and agricultural institutions in the Cordillera region.
