Overview

As one of only 23 in the nation that offers a four-year degree in the area of veterinary technology, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University’s Veterinary Technology program stands alone in placing emphasis on regulatory education and training that prepares students to pursue a multitude of careers in the veterinary field.

What you'll learn

For the first two years, students concentrate on general education. At the FAMU Animal Complex in Quincy, Florida, students apply veterinary terms and concepts, and they model ethical and professional behavior under the guidance of FAMU's licensed veterinarians and technologists.

The Complex houses equine, small ruminant, and swine species for use in extension, research, and teaching, and it has a kennel unit to house cats and dogs. The program is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association, thus graduates can take the national certification examination.
