Program Notes:

⁺ The Veterinary Technician program is academically rigorous and while there are some students who are successful taking the General Education courses along with the VETT courses, it is recommended that students complete as many of these courses as possible prior to entering the program.

MATH 0070 may not be required if you have an acceptable placement score, are registered in a higher level math, or have a higher level math on your college transcript. See a counselor or advisor to determine if you are required to take MATH 0070.
