Ontario Veterinary College
The
Ontario Veterinary College is the oldest veterinary school in
Canada and the
United States. It began in
Toronto in
1862, but later moved to
Guelph, Ontario in 1922 and became a founding college of the
University of Guelph in 1964. OVC is the only veterinary college in the province of
Ontario, and one of only four veterinary colleges across Canada. (The other three are at the
Université de Montréal,
University of Prince Edward Island, and the
University of Saskatchewan.)
OVC offers bachelor's degrees in bio-medical science, but its primary degree offering is the DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine). The College also offers DVSc, PhD, MSc, and Diploma programs at the graduate level.
