Veterinary Science II is a three credit, 36-week continuation of Veterinary Science I. Students will learn more of the medical aspects of working with animals. Veterinary science is a vast and growing field. With the increase in pet ownership and medical care, there is a great need for competent and trained individuals who can work with animals. Completers of the Veterinary Science program have multiple opportunities to get jobs in the field and/or further their education. Job shadowing or volunteering experiences often lead to employment.
