The Veterinary Technology (VT) programme at Morehead State University has a selective admission policy that is separate from, and in addition to, MSU's standard admission requirements. Admission to MSU does not guarantee admission to the VT program. The number of clinical placement positions limits enrollment to 40 incoming students per year.

Students also have the opportunity to graduate with Level Up recognition in all five of the domains.
Students receive more than 650 hours of hands-on training onsite before graduating with an AAS. Students who continue their education with a BS will gain an additional 700 hours of hands-on training (off-site).
