Undergraduate students majoring in veterinary science are required to complete a six-year professional education program in which students learn and study the clinic of various animals including industrial animals, pets, wild animals, etc., the quarantine of animals, fish diseases,
epidemics common to men and animals, and how to breed and improve livestock, how to secure the safety of food and medicine, etc. The basic veterinary courses include anatomy, biology, biochemistry, etc.; the clinical veterinary courses internal medicine, surgery, radiology, etc.; and the applied veterinary courses public health, laboratory and wild animals, fish diseases, etc. Students learn these courses intensively, participating in practices, and deepen the knowledge about such practical areas as biogenetics and the management of animal clinic. In the courses of clinical practices a special emphasis is placed upon the diagnosis and treatment of infected animals, especially cows, horses, pigs, dogs, and cats.

This program has been specifically developed for those individuals who feel a strong attachment toward animals and want to work closely with them on a daily basis. Emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of animal care and management. The primary focus is on dogs and cats but students also receive instruction in the health maintenance and care of laboratory animals.

Many students who select the Animal Care program are actually undecided as to which specific area in the animal care field best suits them. One of the strengths of the program is that it exposes students to the wide variety of opportunities in the animal care profession. The College’s modern, on-campus veterinary clinic houses a kennel, dog training and grooming rooms and laboratory animal rooms.

Graduates of this program are prepared to demonstrate correct kennel management procedures; evaluate and modify canine behavior; perform basic grooming skills; and demonstrate proper health, safety and nutritional practices for companion animals.

The Associate of Science Degree in Pre-Veterinary Medicine is intended to fulfill preadmission requirements on the freshman and sophomore levels for a school of veterinary medicine; students will need to transfer to a four-year school to continue working toward a Bachelor’s degree. Most students who are admitted to a veterinary medicine program have completed the bachelor’s degree. The curriculum in the WSCC catalog is not designed for transfer to any specific school. Students may to talk with a faculty advisor about a particular college or university’s course requirements and transfer.

Career and Major Information:

Veterinarians play a major role in the healthcare of pets, livestock, and zoo, sporting, and laboratory animals. Some veterinarians use their skills to protect humans against diseases carried by animals and conduct clinical research on human and animal health problems. Others work in basic research, broadening the scope of fundamental theoretical knowledge and, in applied research, developing new ways to use knowledge.

Most veterinarians perform clinical work in private practices. More than one-half of these veterinarians predominately, or exclusively, treat small animals. Small-animal practitioners usually care for companion animals, such as dogs and cats, but also treat birds, reptiles, rabbits, and other animals that can be kept as pets. About one-fourth of all veterinarians work in mixed animal practices where they see pigs, goats, sheep, and some nondomestic animals, in addition to companion animals. Veterinarians in clinical practice diagnose animal health problems; vaccinate against diseases, such as distemper and rabies; medicate animals suffering from infections or illnesses; treat and dress wounds; set fractures; perform surgery; and advise owners about animal feeding, behavior, and breeding.

A small number of private practice veterinarians work exclusively with large animals, focusing mostly on horses or cows; some also care for various kinds of food animals. These veterinarians usually drive to farms or ranches to provide veterinary services for herds or individual animals. Much of this work involves preventive care to maintain the health of the food animals. These veterinarians test for and vaccinate against diseases and consult with farm or ranch owners and managers on animal production, feeding, and housing issues. They also treat and dress wounds, set fractures, and perform surgery—including cesarean sections on birthing animals. Veterinarians also euthanize animals when necessary. Other veterinarians care for zoo, aquarium, or laboratory animals (Occupational Outlook Handbook 2004-2005).
