Program Details
Become a proficient and friendly veterinary technician with this online veterinary science degree that is based on the American Veterinary Medical Association’s list of essential and recommended tasks. In as little as one year you can complete a program that emphasizes techniques for assisting in diagnostic, surgical, and clinical procedures along with business skills. Graduates not only possess high-level clinical skills but are also eligible to sit for the National Veterinary Technology Examination or similar regional board exams. You may also transfer to a four-year institution upon graduation.
Even though you are learning at a distance, you will still benefit from hands-on experience. Instead of going to campus, you will work with a licensed veterinarian in your community who will act as a mentor.
