Veterinary Degrees Online

Veterinary technicians work with a veterinarian to provide professional healthcare. This requires extensive knowledge and training in the care and handling of animals, their normal and abnormal life processes, medical and surgical nursing, anesthesiology, diagnostic imaging, and clinical laboratory procedures-precisely the kind of knowledge and training you’ll receive at LMU.

LMU’s veterinary technology program (LMUVTP) offers several degree options that allow you to complete the pre-veterinary medicine requirements at LMU and be prepared to apply to AVMA-accredited colleges of veterinary medicine.

Degrees Offered

Associate of Applied Science in Veterinary Technology (AAS)
Associate of Science in Veterinary Animal Science (AS)
Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Technology (BS)

Concentrations

Animal Science
Veterinary Practice

Special Features

LMUVTP’s affiliation with the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, the Harrogate Hospital for Animals, and Harrogate Genetics International enables you to gain cutting-edge knowledge and experience.

The AAS and BS degrees are accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association.

The BS degree offers concentration areas in veterinary animal science and veterinary practice management. These concentrations are excellent choices for transfer students.

All of LMU’s veterinary degrees emphasize hands-on experience with animals, preventative medicine, and service to the community.

The AAS and BS degrees qualify students to take the national veterinary technician licensing examination and to become a licensed veterinary technician (for those earning the AAS) or veterinary technologist (for those earning the BS).

LMU’s veterinary technology students are a diverse group, coming from places like the Virgin Islands and from states as far away as California, North Dakota, and New York.

Veterinary Technology (VETT) prepares students with knowledge and skills necessary to provide general veterinary nursing care and technical
assistance in the varied disciplines found in the practice of veterinary medicine and surgery. These include nurse anesthetist, operating room
technician, radiology technician, dental hygienist, medical laboratory technician, as well as clinical and practice management. The program is
recognized by the Nevada State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners and is currently preparing for accreditation evaluation by the American
Veterinary Medical Association’s Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities. Students that complete the program are qualified
to sit for state and national licensing examinations and enter into practice as a licensed veterinary technician. The Veterinary Technology
Program has entered into a unique partnership with the Western Veterinary Conference that allows sharing of resources such as facilities, equipment,
and educational opportunities to augment the student’s learning experience. This partnership also makes available nationally and internationally
recognized Doctors of Veterinary Medicine that act as visiting instructors in many disciplines. Entrance requirements into this
Certificate program require documented 4,000 hours work experience in a veterinary practice.
