Advising Notes

This degree is intended to prepare a student upon completion to work in a clinical veterinary setting.

Graduates of this program are prepared to take the Veterinary Technician National Exam.

Courses are listed in the recommended order you should take them.

Many courses have prerequisite requirements that must be fulfilled to be eligible to enroll in the course.

If you intend to graduate with an associate degree in two years, you should enroll in at least 15 credits if taking only fall/spring courses.

Completing 30 credits each year helps students stay on track to timely graduation.

Taking classes in the winter intersession and summer can accelerate your time to degree completion.

All student degree audits for graduation purposes will be based off the official program of study the student is enrolled in.
