The Veterinary Technician program is academically rigorous, and it takes highly motivated individuals to succeed. Students must have a better than average ability to master a large course load of scientific and medical materials in a relatively short period of time.
Courses are taught by experienced veterinarians and veterinary technicians, with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment that allow for extensive hands-on training with a variety of animal species. Upon completion of the American Veterinary Association accredited coursework, students will apply their skills by completing a 300-hour internship at an approved veterinary medical facility.
