Veterinary Technology Curriculum

With the help of your adviser you will formulate course schedules that allow you to complete the veterinary technology program. A curriculum listing is provided below.

Check out our exciting Large Animal Minor - click here - to open a PDF document that lists the courses needed to obtain the minor.

Students must meet the University's general education requirements as well as the curriculum requirements in effect at the time of entrance into a program.

The veterinary technology curriculum allows considerable flexibility in designing your program. We encourage students to select minors from a variety of fields that will enhance your Bachelors degree.

* Only students who have been accepted into the professional portion of the program are allowed to enroll in these courses. For more information about the limited enrollment requirements click on the word APPLICATION

** Each student must complete an externship in a veterinary facility. The students are responsible for arranging their own externship; however, we do provide a listing of previous externship sites. The site must have a veterinary technician who has graduated from an AVMA accredited program on staff, must fill out the externship questionnaire and be approved by the program staff. The student is responsible for fulfilling the required hours, keeping a journal, submitting two case histories and evaluations by the appropriate deadlines in order to meet the requirements for passing the externship.
