In 1978 Murray State College began Oklahoma’s first Veterinary Technology Program
Both options are designed to provide basic principles, knowledge and skill development pertaining to care and handling of normal and abnormal animals. Veterinary Technicians are an integral member of the veterinary medical team. Areas of study include: veterinary nursing, nutritional counseling, anesthesiology, veterinary imaging, clinical pathology, surgical nursing, dental hygiene and client education. Veterinary technician duties include all facets of veterinary medicine except diagnosis, prescribing medication and performing surgery. The Associate of Applied Science Degree and/or the credits in Veterinary Technology are discipline specific and do not substitute for or transfer to pre-veterinary medical school curriculum.
Graduates of this program are eligible to take the State and National Board Examination for registration as a Veterinary Technician.
This program is fully accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association.
