Veterinary Science Degrees Online

According to the National Pet Owner's Survey, 63% of American households have at least one pet. The American Pet Products Manufacturers Association (APPMA) reports that there are 74 million dogs, 88 million cats, and 142 million freshwater fish owned in the US. In 2007, APPMA estimates that Americans will spend approximately $9.8 billion on veterinary care for their beloved pets.

Veterinary Technician Degrees
Veterinary technologists and technicians are similar to nurses, performing routine laboratory and clinical procedures while working under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian. Veterinary professionals are responsible for the healthcare of animals, including pets, zoo animals, livestock, sporting animals, and laboratory animals. There are two typical ways to prepare for this career: a two-year program for veterinary technicians and a four-year program for veterinary technologists.

Online degree programs allow you to take courses in veterinary science from home. Coursework includes subjects such as animal biology, zoology, animal nutrition, and systemic physiology. Associate and bachelor's degrees in veterinary science can qualify you to work as a veterinary technician and laboratory assistant.

Veterinary Careers & Jobs
Veterinary school admission can be highly competitive, but after you earn your degree, job opportunities are promising. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were approximately 60,000 veterinary technician/technologist jobs in 2004, earning $12 per hour on average. If you love working with animals, pursuing an online degree in veterinary science is a great way to commence your career.

"Nothing separates the generations more than music.
By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes."
