Veterinary Technology

The Veterinary Technology Program is a 4 year course designed to teach students the basics of veterinary medicine.  Students learn concepts related to science and medicine by studying medical terminology, hematology, animal nutrition, and breed identification. Via hands-on learning and field experiences, and by hearing directly from experts, they learn to work in  laboratory settings, practice exam room procedures, and modify animals’ behavior. Students who continue through the program as upperclassmen study pharmacology and hone their surgical nursing skills. As a result, students are prepared to work with animals in a variety of settings, thus widening their pool of potential career options.
