What the numbers say
Georgia passed 95% of the 148 students who took the NAVLE in 2025 - 2026, 2 points higher than the 93% for 2024 - 2025, which had the same 148 takers. Those rates are as the school reports it: its table runs by academic year and sets UGA Students Who Took NAVLE beside those who Passed NAVLE, with no comparison group and no mention of first attempts. The 2023 - 2024 year holds the highest rate in the window, 98% of 127. Its lowest came in 2022 - 2023, when 92% of 114 passed. Set against 2021 - 2022, when 94% of 110 passed, the 2025 - 2026 rate is 1 point higher. UGA's College of Veterinary Medicine says it maintains full accreditation from the AVMA Council on Education. In 2024-25 the university conferred 145 DVM degrees, according to IPEDS. Georgia residents are charged $22,032 in tuition for year 1 in 2026-27, a single-year amount. Applications go through VMCAS, the college asks for a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0, and it no longer requires the GRE. Coursework covers English, humanities or social studies, biology, chemistry and physics with laboratory, biochemistry and advanced biology. Among graduates of UGA's veterinary medicine program, College Scorecard records a median of $111,207 1 year after completion for 2020-21 and 2021-22 completers and $134,085 4 years after completion for 2017-18 and 2018-19 completers.
