by George Jared (gjared@talkbusiness.net)

Arkansas State University intends to start a College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) and now it plans to undergo the endeavor without the help of any outside entity. Once it’s completed, the A-State veterinary program would be the second in the state.

Batesville-based Lyon College is in the process of forming its own vet training program in Little Rock, the school announced in May.

The new college will cost about $15 million to start. A specific timeline of when the college will become accredited and when it will start training students was not released.
