The Veterinary Technology program at Quinnipiac prepares students to work under the direct supervision of graduate veterinarians in the breeding, care and management of domestic animals. The technologist can assist in a private veterinary practice, in a research facility or in an animal production program.

The first two years of the program consist of a science and liberal arts core. During the third and fourth years, the student is expected to complete several advanced courses in veterinary technology. These courses are biomedical in orientation and emphasize the application of medical technology to the employment situation.

Internships with cooperating animal facilities and veterinary hospitals are an integral part of the program.

The curriculum in veterinary technology is fully accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association's Committee on Animal Technician Activities and Training.

Immediately following graduation, students are qualified to take state licensing examinations in order to enter clinical practice, and after two years of full-time employment are eligible to be officially certified by the Animal Technician Certification Board of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science.
