The University of Maryland Eastern Shore’s new veterinary school will likely be accredited by 2025 and enroll up to 100 graduate students annually.
A Maryland college hopes to become the second among the nation’s more than 100 historically Black colleges and universities to train veterinarians.
The University of Maryland Eastern Shore received state approval last month to establish a veterinary medicine school. According to USA Today, fewer than 40 veterinary programs exist nationwide, with Alabama’s Tuskegee University being the only other HBCU that houses one.
Moses Kairo, head of the university’s agriculture and natural sciences department, stated that under the best-case scenario, UMES’ new veterinary school will be accredited by 2025 and enroll up to 100 graduate students annually.
Vet school at UMES will “change the landscape,” Kairo asserted, meeting several requirements in a field where the percentage of Black workers is a mere 3%.
