Answer 1 :
The program at College of Southern Nevada is a Vet Tech program. My understanding is that a Vet Tech program is helpful if not required for entry into a Veterinarian program. Here is what the catalog states online about their program: "Veterinary Technology (VETT) prepares students with knowledge and skills necessary to provide general veterinary nursing care and technical assistance in the varied disciplines found in the practice of veterinary medicine and surgery. These include nurse anesthetist, operating room technician, radiology technician, dental hygienist, medical laboratory technician, as well as clinical and practice management. The program is recognized by the Nevada State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners and is fully accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities (CVTEA), 1931 North Meacham Rd., Suite 100, Schaumburg, IL 60173, (800) 248-2862. Students that complete the program are qualified to sit for state and national licensing examinations and enter into practice as a licensed veterinary technician." Additionally, they state: "The Veterinary Technology Program has entered into a unique partnership with the Western Veterinary Conference that allows sharing of resources such as facilities, equipment, and educational opportunities to augment the student’s learning experience. This partnership also makes available nationally and internationally recognized Doctors of Veterinary Medicine that act as visiting instructors in many disciplines." You might want to decide where you want to apply for your Vet program, and talk to admissions there first. They will be able to tell you if CSN is the best idea. CSN is more of a state community college, and not a four year college.
