The Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine (TUCVM) curriculum is a structured four-year program that progressively develops students’ knowledge and skills—from foundational biomedical sciences to advanced clinical competencies. The curriculum is delivered in nine semesters across four academic years, and comprises both pre-clinical and clinical components. It is designed to provide strong foundational knowledge of animal anatomy and physiological processes, disease mechanisms and pathological responses, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and to cultivate critical thinking, effective communication, ethical and professional conduct, assurance of animal welfare, and fiscal responsibility within the practice veterinary medicine.

The pre-clinical curriculum consists of 120 credit hours over the course of 6 semesters. Most of the pre-clinical curriculum is delivered by way of in-person instruction. Approximately 4% of the pre-clinical curriculum is delivered through distance education. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Council on Education (COE), distance education is defined as:  “Education that uses technology (e.g., the internet, audio conference, wireless communication) to deliver instruction to students who are physically separated from the instructor(s) and to support regular and substantive interaction between the instructor(s) and the students. This includes online learning, remote learning, and synchronous and asynchronous delivery.” In most, if not all, instances, a faculty member will be physically present to support students when a remote instructor is providing distance education.

The clinical curriculum spans 57 weeks and includes 3 weeks of clinical rotation experiences in the 6^th semester of the program during Year 3. The clinical curriculum consists of clinical rotations in various clinical disciplines, including small and large animal internal medicine, small and large animal surgery, small animal emergency and critical care, community practice, field practice, shelter medicine, necropsy, clinical pathology, diagnostic imaging, dentistry and dermatology; as well as opportunities for externships and preceptorships.
