VETERINARY TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS AT TRUMBULL AND TUSCARAWAS CAMPUSES

The Associate of Applied Science in Veterinary Technology (VTEC) program is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and approved by the Ohio Board of Regents. The program is offered in its entirety at both the Trumbull and Tuscarawas campuses. To prepare Veterinary Technicians, our curriculum provides combined studies of college-level general education courses and rigorous coursework in science, animal health, management, and veterinary medical concepts. 小黄片视频 looks for highly motivated students interested in becoming Veterinary Technicians.
