3 Veterinary Technology Preparatory Programs

The Registered Veterinary Technology Program, which is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association, is designed to enable students to prepare for a career in this essential and diverse profession. The program is unique in that most courses provide a hands-on experience designed to give the student a combination of practical skills and technical knowledge.

If you love animals, want to learn about animal medicine, and are looking for a rewarding and meaningful career, then you should consider becoming a veterinary technician or a veterinary aide. Students who enroll and graduate from the Eastern Wyoming College Veterinary Technology Program will earn an Associate of Applied Science degree or a Veterinary Aide certificate. In 1976, the EWC veterinary technology program was accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). The Veterinary Technology program can be completed in four semesters or students may choose to spread the coursework over five semesters. A one-year certificate program for Veterinary Aides is another option for students that choose this career path. The Veterinary Technology Department at Eastern Wyoming College has a very active veterinary technology club. The students involved in this group participate in dog washes, vaccination clinics, and tour wildlife centers. The club offers an opportunity for students to attend a major veterinary conference.
