Construction has formerly started on Rowan University’s Shreiber School of Veterinary Medicine which will be located on Rowan’s West Campus in Harrison Township, next to Route 55.
Announced almost a year ago, the Shreiber Veterinary School will become the first veterinary school in New Jersey, and only the 2nd Veterinary School in the country to offer three veterinary degrees; D.V.M., D.O., and M.D.
In 2022, the State of New Jersey approve $75 million towards the initial funding. A $30 million gift from Gerald Shreiber (founder of J&J Snack Foods) is to establish scholarships to help keep the costs of a veterinary school education affordable for students in New Jersey.
Specifically the veterinary school will be located in a 9.5 acre portion of a 255 acre property on Mullica Hill Rd (rt 322) across from the Inspira medical hospital, and bordered by Rt 55.
