This is an 8-quarter program with the last quarter consisting of an externship
during which students will work with a veterinarian in a veterinary office. The
veterinary technology program is accredited by the Committee on Veterinary
Technician Education and Activities (CVTEA), a division of the American
Veterinary Medical Association.
As a student in this program, you are trained to
assist veterinarians in all aspects of a veterinary practice, including patient
care, medical administration, surgical preparation, equipment maintenance,
radiological procedures, laboratory procedures, public relations and office
procedures. Upon graduation, the veterinary technician is qualified to take the
National Veterinary Technician Exam and/or any other state exam required for
registration, certification or licensure in that state.
