Why CVM-VSU

Located at the foot of Mount Pangasugan, Baybay City, Leyte, the College of Veterinary Medicine, Visayas State University (CVM-VSU) has several to boast about its Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree program.

It is second to none in the Visayas; it ranked third in the country in the National Veterinary Licensure Exam in the last two years; it has produced at least 13 topnotchers in the National Veterinary Licensure Exam (VMLE); it has consistently averaged above the national passing percentage, and a graduate employability of about 100% either locally or abroad, with some occupying top management positions or having their own clinical practice.

All of these are because of CVM’s strong commitment to Policies, Standards, and Guidelines for Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) Program set by CHED. In addition, the college is firm in its desire to give the best education possible to its graduates, equipping them with 21st century and Industry 4.0 knowledge and skills to be able to carry out the duties of safeguarding animal health, public health, and the environment in both local and international settings. This is why from its humble beginnings of having only three enrollees, today the second to the youngest veterinary college in the Visayas has grown exponentially to 462 students.

Amidst this difficult time, the CVM and VSU community as a whole have endeavored to cushion the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic by launching various programs, including the development of instructional materials for remote learning.  This is to ensure support to students as they continue their studies remotely.  Together with its 16 passionate and enthusiastic faculty, who obtained their respective graduate education in top schools in the Philippines and across the globe in countries such as Australia, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, and Sweden,  and seven competent staff, we await you to be part of our elite graduates in the college we consider CVM Family.
