The Veterinary Science major utilizes intensive science and math skills to prepare students to seek employment in the field of veterinary medicine. There is a thorough review of animal behavior, handling, husbandry, medicine, and surgery related to both large and small animals including numerous hands-on demonstrations. A comprehensive review of all major body systems is conducted to allow students to apply this knowledge when performing physical examinations and the diagnosis and probable treatment of common diseases and injuries. Students will prepare for careers as veterinary assistants/aides or continue their education to become veterinary technicians or Doctors of Veterinary Medicine (DVM).
