What the numbers say
Oregon State's Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine posts a single NAVLE figure, 97.4% for the Class of 2026, as the school reports it. The page does not say whether it counts first attempts alone, and it prints no comparison group or number of takers. The college states that it is fully accredited by the AVMA Council on Education. Admissions figures list 96 positions for the Class of 2029, and IPEDS counts 81 DVM degrees conferred in 2024-25. Resident and WICHE students are charged $35,295 in tuition and fees for 2026-27, a yearly amount, not a program total. Teaching happens in person in Corvallis.
