The pre-veterinary concentration allows the student to receive a Bachelor’s Degree in Veterinary Science, meeting the requirements for most Veterinary Schools as well as the requirements for the two-year, AVMA-accredited program in Veterinary Technology. Students are advised that the requirements of each Veterinary School are different, and that they may need to take additional courses to meet the pre-requisite requirements of a specific school. Students should be prepared to begin the application process at the end of the Junior year and may receive feedback at that time on how they might make their application stronger.

An integral part of the program is the Lenfest Animal Health Center. This on-campus veterinary clinic treats hundreds of animals annually and allows students to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience as part of the curriculum. In addition to the veterinary clinic on campus, field trips are made to local shelters and farm animal facilities. These out-reach programs give the students experiences with a wide range of animal species. Supplementing the didactic course work is an externship in which the student receives hands-on training in an approved research facility, private veterinary practice or veterinary teaching facility.

A Veterinary Technician is a graduate of a two-year, AVMA-accredited program in Veterinary Technology who has knowledge of applied science and specialized training in animal health, care and management. Graduates of the program are qualified to perform a wide range of technical medical skills and may be employed in veterinary practices, research and academic institutions, biological laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, public health organizations and zoos. The demand for veterinary technicians continues to exceed the supply of graduates.

An integral part of the program is the Lenfest Animal Health Center. This on-campus veterinary clinic treats over 1,000 animals annually and allows students to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience as part of the curriculum. In addition to the veterinary clinic on campus, field trips to shelters and large animal facilities add to the clinical experience of the students. These out-reach programs give the students experiences with a wide range of animal species. Additionally, supplementing the didactic course work is an externship in which the student receives hands-on training in an approved research facility, private veterinary practice or veterinary teaching facility.

The curriculum is fully accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association’s Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities.

The Veterinary Technician program has been designed to develop personnel capable of assisting veterinarians in large animal practices, small animal practices, laboratory animal situations and related veterinary medical activities. The curriculum provides a sound foundation in basic veterinary technology and promotes habits of mind that inspire students to continue their education. Through courseware, skill acquisition and meaningful clinical experiences the graduate will be a productive employee at the entry level and will have the capabilities to perform satisfactorily in positions of increasing responsibility. Veterinary Technology is not designed as a preparatory program for those students who wish to pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine.

Veterinary Technology is a regional academic program sponsored jointly by County College of Morris (CCM), Bergen Community College (BCC), and Sussex County Community College (SCCC). The three colleges are held together as a consortium by formal agreement. The Consortium is known as the Northern New Jersey Consortium for Veterinary Technician Education.

The program’s curriculum has both a pre-professional and professional component. The pre-professional component includes necessary remediation, general education coursework, and some courses designed to introduce students to the field of veterinary technology. The professional component, which follows the pre-professional component, includes veterinary technology courses.

The primary educational and career objective of the SUNY Delhi Bachelor of Business Administration in Veterinary Technology Management program is to graduate technicians who possess business management capabilities. The semester-by-semester curriculum layout indicates how this goal has been integrated to provide the technician with the knowledge and skills necessary to compete successfully as a technician-manager in the exciting, evolving world of veterinary and laboratory animal medicine.

The Field

During the past two decades, with the advent of board certification of specialties in veterinary medicine, the nature and character of veterinary practice have changed. There has been a proliferation of multiple-veterinarian private practices, often encompassing a variety of specialties. These large group practices have provided a rich, challenging environment for well-trained-and-educated veterinary technicians. Also, these practices have created a demand for technicians who are not only knowledgeable about veterinary medicine, but also capable of managing the business aspects and lay personnel of a practice. With increasing economic pressure, even smaller, more routine veterinary practices have come to recognize the benefits of having a competent veterinary technician who also has management capabilities on staff. Such technicians free their employers from the day-to-day management of the practice, enabling the employers to function more fully as practicing veterinarians.

Industrial veterinary medicine, consisting of the commercial pharmaceutical industry, private and academic biomedical research institutions, and purely academic facilities, also has great demand for well-trained veterinary technicians and for technicians who can also function as animal resource managers. On-the-job training is not providing enough adequately trained managers to meet the needs of this aspect of veterinary medicine. Laboratory animal resource managers face many challenges, including rapidly changing technology, regulations, and institutional policies. Managers that can effectively address these challenges are in tremendous demand.
