Veterinary Science
Students enrolled in the school's new Veterinary Science program will understand the fundamentals of animal science, be introduced to a variety of species, breeds, and characteristics (both large and small animal), compare animal anatomy and physiology, research animal disease and prevention, and study genetics, breeding and reproduction of domestic animals. Working and learning in the school’s new Veterinary Science building, these students will be introduced to all aspects of a comprehensive veterinary medicine practice, and hands on learning experience.
Veterinary Science program graduates will be prepared for both college and career pathways upon graduation. Because the field of veterinary care is so broad, career pathways and required training associated with selected pathways vary tremendously. As a result, students entering the workforce may pursue a number of occupations, either after high school or completing higher educational programs, that include:
Administrative Support in Clinics and Hospitals
Animal Care and Service Workers
Groomers
Shelter Care and Medicine
Dog training
Veterinary Assistants
Veterinary Technicians
Surgical Technologists
