About the Program

Students will be prepared for a wide range of careers related to animal care and veterinary science. Topics of study include: animal health and disease, nutrition, reproduction, parasitology, anatomy and physiology, and animal behavior. Students will perform clinical procedures that are commonly performed at veterinary clinics and learn the technical skills to operate and manage a veterinary practice. Animal care and grooming clinics are implemented to help students learn standard operating procedures by following written protocols, documentation, team work, problem solving, and verbal communication/instruction in a professional work environment.
