St. Matthew’s School of Veterinary Medicine offers quality education with unmatched student support services with small class sizes on a beautiful, safe, modern island.

Our Basic Science campus is on Grand Cayman which is only an hour flight from Miami. Students spend seven semesters on the island completing Basic Science and Pre-Clinical classes with highly credentialed and experienced faculty. The program offers students a veterinary medical education program focused on patient-centered care as the foundation of the program. The veterinary medical education is integrated with a surgical facility built by St. Matthew’s University for the benefit of our students, the citizens of the Cayman Islands and the local animal population.

The Cayman Islands offer a unique setting for veterinary study. The island has a rich variety of wildlife, large animals and companion animals. Students spend 28 months of classroom, laboratory and surgical facility based instruction on Grand Cayman. Students then move on to a year of clinical instruction at premier veterinary schools in the U.S and Canada.

Grand Cayman boasts one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. The island is modern and has an economy similar of that of the U.S. which allows students to easily assimilate into the lifestyle of the island. Grand Cayman has one of the lowest crime rates of any country in the Caribbean, and the local residents are hospitable and inviting. St. Matthew’s University is just steps away from the famous Seven Mile Beach. Students can literally walk out of their class for a quick swim, snorkel, sunset volleyball game, or even to study on the beach.
