Pre Veterinary Technology Certificate Program Description
The proposed Pre-Veterinary Technology Certificate enhances Chesapeake College’s ability to support the region’s demand for a trained workforce in animal care. Due to the high <br>concentration of farm and animal related industry on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, there is a higher than average demand for animal care trained workers. The proposed Certificate supports this initiative by provides students with the foundation and skill set necessary to continue their <br>education in a Veterinary Technology or an Animal Science program with a college or university that grants an Associate or Baccalaureate Degree. Students completing the core coursework of the program may also be eligible to take state certification exams.
