Thank you for choosing our Veterinary Technology Program here at Vermont State University Randolph!
We commend you for taking the step towards furthering your education. You have chosen a challenging and yet rewarding field; a field that will offer you endless opportunities for growth, learning, and reward. We appreciate and recognize the importance of the Veterinary Technician as invaluable member of the Veterinary Health Care Team. Our intent here at VTSU Randolph is to provide you with a balance of academics in both the classroom and the laboratory, allowing you to achieve a high degree of knowledge and of hands-on skills. Graduates may choose to work in private practice, industry, government, or educational institutions.
After successful completion of the Veterinary Technology Program curriculum, you will receive an Associates of Applied Science degree in Veterinary Technology. Upon graduation, you will be prepared to join the profession as a trained, skilled technician, and you will be prepared to sit for the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) and to apply to become a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) in the State of Vermont. Please remember that this is a Veterinary Technology Program and not a pre-veterinary program.
Students may complete the program on a full-time or a part-time basis; if students choose to complete the program on a part-time basis, all Veterinary Technology courses should be completed within a five-year time frame. Students choosing to complete this program on a full-time basis can complete it within the two-year
time-frame. Please note that this program is a very intensive program; if you choose to complete it within two years, be prepared to spend a significant amount of time per week studying and practicing skills. We recommend that students, needing to work full time or possessing other heavy responsibilities outside of school, complete the program on a part-time basis.
Our program is fully accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association and we strive to provide you with the best educational experience possible. Welcome!
