Veterinary Degrees Online

The special program for high school graduates is designed for qualified and motivated high school students who seek a career in veterinary medicine. The Integrated Pre Veterinary – Veterinary Program (INTEPREV) is an attempt to eliminate the sharp division between pre veterinary and veterinary education and also to shorten the time required for obtaining the Doctor of Veterinary (D.V.M) degree to six (6) years.

The program (INTEPREV) also allows the matriculation of students from around the world regardless of the individual variations of the educational system of their home country.

Students are selected for the program (INTEPREV) in the senior year of high school. There are no specific high school course requirements, but applicants are required to take either SAT, ACT or College Board examinations. Of great importance to the Admission Committee are such factors as interest in the humanities, sciences, evidence of intellectual curiosity and extracurricular activities.

The first year of the program is devoted to the study of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, English Composition, Medical Terminology and Spanish.

Student Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete an Applied Science degree in Animal Technology will:
Effectively apply multiple specie Animal Husbandry skills and concepts within the livestock industry.
Use skills acquired to gain employment in animal agriculture.
Effectively research nutrition, management, marketing, health and reproduction issues.
Interact with professionals unique to the industry using appropriate vocabulary.
Apply appropriate computational and accounting skills and utilize technology for successful money management and other record keeping requirements.

Program Requirements
The Animal Technology program is designed to be completed in two years. This assumes, however, that the entering student has been placed at or above the following levels on the Computerized Placement Test: WR 115 Introduction to College Writing and MTH 060 Introduction to Algebra. It is advisable to take the test as early as possible. If developmental coursework is required, it may take the student longer than two years to complete the program.

In preparation for the Animal Technology program, high school students should study mathematics, life sciences and physical sciences. Program completion requires a minimum of four credits of math and eight credits of chemistry or biology, plus other general education courses, such as English composition, speech and social science.

Students can take general education courses at night, but the technical classes are offered only during the day. Part-time enrollment is common; students may start in the middle of the school year or enroll for any portion of the program.

Facilities
Classes are conducted in modern, well-equipped classrooms and laboratories. Emphasis is placed on hands-on experience, and many classes utilize the local livestock producers for in-the-field laboratory exercises. Computers, microscopes and other modern lab equipment are available for student use. The college supplies equipment and tools for use during lab sessions.
