December 29, 2021

SEWELL – Senate President Steve Sweeney today applauded the creation of the Rowan University School of Veterinary Medicine at a ceremony on the Rowan College, South Jersey, campus, where the new school will be located. Funded with a $75 million state appropriation, the new program will make Rowan only the second university in the nation with a medical school, a veterinary school and a school of osteopathic medicine.

“Launching New Jersey’s first school of veterinary medicine at Rowan University is just the latest in a series of strides we have made in expanding and improving the quality of medical education and research over the past decade,” said Senate President Steve Sweeney. “With this investment, we will be able to keep our best and brightest veterinary students in New Jersey, and we will attract aspiring veterinarians from other states to study here as well.”
