Train for a Career as a Vet Tech
Cuddles and scrubs are on the lesson plan for veterinary technology students treating animals big and small. Austin Community College’s Veterinary Technology Program gives students hands-on experience with dogs, cats, bunnies, cattle, and more. You’ll learn through training in surgeries, dental procedures, radiology, and treatment plans. Once completing an associate degree, you can specialize in emergency and critical care, internal medicine, wildlife refuge, zoological medicine, or research.
The Veterinary Technology Program at ACC is a special admissions program with limited availability. Students preparing for the program should select
