Our Story
If you love animals, want to learn about animal medicine and laboratory techniques, and are looking for a rewarding and meaningful career, then you should consider becoming a veterinary technician or a veterinary aide. Students who enroll and graduate from the Eastern Wyoming College Veterinary Technology Program will earn an Associate of Applied Science degree or a Veterinary Aide certificate.
In 1976, the EWC veterinary technology program was accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). The Veterinary Technology program can be completed in four semesters or students may choose to spread the course work over five semesters. A one year certificate program for Veterinary Aides is another option for students that choose this career path.
The Veterinary Technology Department at Eastern Wyoming College has a very active veterinary technology club. The students involved in this group participate in dog washes, concessions for many sports activities (including rodeos), and community service projects. As well as taking trips to various fun locations for participation in the previous activities, like Las Vegas, and Orlanda for sophomores to attend a veterinary conference of their choosing.
