| "Students get a real sense of what
it’s like to work in a veterinary
hospital. They not only gain essential
hands-on training in animal medicine,
but learn other tasks connected
with the overall care of the animals." |

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS |
|
|
 All new students are initially admitted into the “pre-clinical”
phase of the Veterinary Technology program. Students may then
file for candidacy consideration into the Clinical phase at the
beginning of each Fall semester.
Entrance to the Clinical phase of the program is competitive
due to limited capacity.
Candidates must have completed the
12-credit “pre-clinical” course requirement (including
specific introductory courses) by December, with a minimum
2.50 GPA and successful completion of all College ACT
entrance examinations. (See the Veterinary Technology curriculum.)
Candidates are then ranked on a scoring system based on overall
GPA and grades in key courses.
Meeting the minimum 2.50
GPA is not a guarantee that a student will be selected for the
Clinical phase.
Notification of acceptance into the Clinical Phase of the
Veterinary Technology Program occurs in late January.
Clinical
Phase courses for students accepted into the Program begin
in the Spring Semester.
Specific, minimum health requirements for students in the
Clinical Phase of the program, including tetanus and other
immunizations, are also in effect for the coming academic year.
Please consult the Veterinary Technology Program Student
Handbook for more information.
