Program Description
Do you love working with animals? Are you ready for a competitive, challenging, yet rewarding career in medicine? Is attending a professional school one of your educational goals? If so, then a career as a veterinarian might be right for you. Veterinarians care for the health of animals both large and small. They diagnose, treat, and research medical conditions and diseases of pets, livestock, and other animals.
At TCC, you’ll receive expert instruction in biology, physics, mathematics, and the liberal arts. When you graduate, you’ll be well-prepared to transfer to a four-year university and complete your Bachelor’s degree while you finish your prerequisite coursework and begin the process of applying for admission to a school of veterinary medicine.
