About the School
Welcome to Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine (LSU SVM), located in the vibrant city of Baton Rouge! In addition to our dedication to excellence in training practice-ready veterinarians, we emphasize basic, clinical and translational research and provide world class clinical services to our patients. Since accepting our first class of students in 1973, we have trained more than 2,700 veterinarians who have gone on to excellence in private primary and specialty veterinary practices, biotechnology and pharmacology industries, public health, and academic research and teaching. We also have a rigorous and active graduate program that trains towards the PhD degree. PhD training is open to both DVMs and those with undergraduate degrees interested in biomedical research. We collaborate extensively in our research, education and service missions with other institutions in Louisiana, including the Tulane National Primate Center, Pennington Biomedical Research Center, the National Hansen’s Disease Center and the LSU Health Sciences Centers. We work with these institutions to relentlessly pursue new understanding to foster new discoveries leading to the treatment and prevention of animal and human diseases. We also train veterinarians working towards Board certification in Veterinary Specialties with 36 interns and residents pursing advanced training in 15 different specialties in 2014 alone. Many of our trainees go on to become leaders in academic veterinary medicine at other institutions.

Why no Tier Rankings?
Although we could tier rank, over the past 25 years we've found no compelling benefit for ranking schools. Students are most successful when they prioritize personal and academic fit over school rank.
Success!
