This is the first partnership for Southeastern in the veterinary program. The university has an agreement with Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine for seats in the concentrations of dentistry, pharmacy and medical sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ross University, located on St. Kitts island, is accredited by the Association of American Veterinary Medical Association (AAVMA) Council on Education. Their programs focus on tropical veterinary medicine, conservation of endangered species, preserving ecosystems and researching zoonotic diseases. There are currently 30 schools and colleges within the United States that are accredited through the AAVMA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur college is excited about the new agreement with Ross University,\u201d said Dr. Sheila Abraham, professor of biology. \u201cThis agreement will enable a quicker and easier transition into a very competitive program and allow those called to serve as veterinarians to fulfill their divine design.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the fall of 2019, Southeastern\u2019s biology\/pre-med degree was renamed to a bachelor of science in biology with four concentration track options, including studies in veterinary science, dentistry, pharmacy and medical sciences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe BS in Biology program with a concentration in veterinary medicine is designed to proactively prepare students for admission into veterinary school while simultaneously launching their career in veterinary medicine,\u201d said Abraham.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program at Ross University includes seven semesters in St. Kitts, with the last three semesters of clinical training at an AVMA accredited school of veterinary medicine in the U.S., Canada, Ireland or Australia. In addition to earning a doctorate in veterinary medicine, through Ross University, students have the opportunity to combine their program with a Master of Science by Research degree program. This combines veterinary education with postgraduate level research training.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information about the partnership or to schedule an interview, contact Priscilla Burr at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:pjburr@seu.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pjburr@seu.edu<\/a>&nbsp;or 863.667.5558.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Southeastern University reached a program agreement with Ross University to provide students with 12 guaranteed seats annually into their veterinary program.
