AUA Announcement: Vet School Opening
The American University of Antigua today announced the formation of a new school for the study of veterinary medicine at its University Park campus on the Island of Antigua, West Indies. In addition, AUA signed an agreement today with Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine to provide transfer opportunities for qualified AUA veterinary medical students.
“There are only 28 accredited veterinary colleges in the United States. We decided to establish the AUA School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences after talking with Virginia Tech,” said Neal Simon, AUA’s president and co-founder, at a press briefing in New York City. “By teaming with Virginia Tech, one of the best veterinary colleges in the country, AUA has established a new model for earning a degree in veterinary medicine.”
“In five short years, AUA has proven its ability to educate both medical doctors and nurses. Its desire to expand into preparing future veterinarians for their clinical phase at Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine creates another avenue for us to attract qualified students and we welcome it,” said Gerhardt G. Schurig, dean of veterinary medicine at Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine.
