About Associate in Applied Science - Veterinary Technology
Veterinary technicians work with veterinarians in private practice as well as in zoos, animal shelters, wildlife facilities, and in research labs. Some technicians have careers with pharmaceutical companies, pet food companies or in diagnostic laboratories.
The Veterinary Technology Program at GCC is a selective curriculum that requires two years of full-time study. Courses include:
- Anatomy and Physiology
- Pharmacy and Pharmacology
- Nutrition
- Techniques for Laboratory Animals
- Small and Large Animal Pathology and Nursing
- Surgical Nursing and Anesthesia
- Radiology and Dentistry
- Clinical Laboratory Techniques
Students will complete three externships with hands-on training in veterinary practices alongside licensed veterinary technicians and veterinarians. Small class sizes will allow students to work closely with helpful faculty who work in the field and stay up to date on the latest developments in veterinary medicine. Students are also required to complete general education courses including English, psychology, history, and math, in order to receive an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) Degree.
