🐱 The first class of students began classes on Sept. 2.
🐶 The application process for next year ends soon
GLASSBORO — It’s been six years in the making, but now, finally, New Jersey has its first veterinary school.
Classes began Sept. 2 with the inaugural class of The Shreiber School of Veterinary Medicine at Rowan University in Glassboro, consisting of 75 students, 40 of whom are from New Jersey, and the others represent 16 states, including California and Washington.
It used to be that if a New Jersey resident wanted to attend veterinary school, they had to apply out of state, and even out of the country, until now.
