As veterinarians strive to meet the growing demand for high-quality care of companion animals and animals in other industries, well-qualified veterinary technologists will find a wide range of employment opportunities. Becker College graduates can expect to find employment in a number of industries, including veterinary practices, research and academic institutions, laboratories and pharmaceutical companies, public health organizations, and zoos.

The Becker College veterinary technology program provides students with knowledge of applied science and specialized training in animal health, care, and management. The program is fully accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association’s Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities.

Students engage in classroom learning and gain hands-on experience at the College’s Lenfest Animal Center. This facility houses the College’s veterinary clinic, which sees more than 1,000 patients annually. In addition, field trips to shelters and large animal facilities and an externship experience in an approved research facility, private veterinary practice, or veterinary teaching facility fully develop each student’s knowledge and potential. Upon graduation, students are immediately eligible to begin the process of becoming credentialed in clinical practice and/or research.
