Chesapeake College Wye Mills, Maryland

Chesapeake College’s Veterinary Technician program is designed to equip animal lovers with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the growing pet care industry. The comprehensive curriculum provides in-depth instruction on animal behavior, care, and treatment, preparing students to excel in a veterinary practice environment. What sets this program apart is its emphasis on hands-on experience, integrating clinical practice with traditional coursework, and its target student population: those already working as veterinary assistants. Students gain practical skills in laboratory diagnostics, advanced nursing care, client communication, radiography, anesthesiology, surgical nursing, and dentistry. With accreditation from the American Veterinary Medical Association, graduates are well-prepared to take the Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE) and become Licensed Veterinary Technicians, making them highly sought-after professionals in this rewarding field. The program also includes a Veterinary Assistant certificate program, providing another entry point into this growing field.
