Earn a Veterinary Technology Degree—Hands-on

Globe University offers two-year and four-year degrees in veterinary technology. As a student, you will be working with live animals early in the program, perform laboratory procedures and learn how to communicate with vets and pet owners. As a graduate, you will be prepared for positions in small animal hospitals, production and equine practices, wildlife rescue operations and animal research labs.

“The best part of the veterinary technology program at Globe is that we are working with animals all the time. Besides your animal care duties, you will be pulled out of class to help with things like vaccinations, clip nails, help with physical exams, prep for surgery – it’s very hands on. If you are willing to learn, you will learn, because you are thrown into those situations every day with proper supervision.”

~ Kaycee Christ, Globe University-Woodbury
