The Certificate in Veterinary Assistant program provides the technical skills and work habits required to seek entry-level positions as Veterinary Assistants. The computer technology and word processing facets of the curriculum enhance students potential for employment. Prior to graduation, students are required to complete a 180-hour externship program at a veterinary clinic. In addition to attendance in all courses, students will be required to complete out-of-class assignments. These assignments include but are not limited to reading, exercises and problem solving, projects, research, papers, and presentations. A student can anticipate out-of-class activities that equal about two (2) hours for every one (1) hour of lecture. Upon successful completion of the program (see Graduation Requirements section of the catalog), graduates could seek entry-level employment in the veterinary assistant field.
