Program Description:
Admission into this
program requires special selection. In order to be considered for
admission, an applicant must have all prerequisites satisfied: VETT 106,
BIOL 110, BIOL 220. Students must successfully complete, with a grade of
“C” or better, all veterinary technology and science courses in order to
continue in and complete the program.
Admission to this program is a separate process from admission to the
college. Admission to the School of Health Professions programs is
competitive and selective and is based on published criteria.
Information about admissions processes for the programs in the School of
Health Professions and the Selective Admissions Application form are
available in the Office of Selective Admissions in Room J-101 on the
Essex Campus or by calling 410-780-6112. This information is also
available in the Admissions or Records and Registration office on each
campus.
The Veterinary Technology program accepts a class in the Fall of every
academic calendar year. To be guaranteed consideration for fall
admission to the program, all application materials must be completed by
May 1. After May 1, applications will be accepted on a space available
basis.
Students must be available to take courses in the day and evening. In
addition, it may be necessary to attend Saturday classes and to travel
to off-campus locations. (Transportation is not provided.) Students are
required to undergo rabies immunization, furnish proof of health
insurance, and purchase a uniform.
School of Health Professions Policies: Students in the School of Health
Professions are expected to conduct themselves according to an honor
code, exhibit professional behavior, communicate effectively in English,
provide proof of health insurance and immunizations, and may be asked to
submit to a criminal background check and random urine drug testing.
