Animal Sciences

Unleash Your Potential

From farm animals to domesticated pets, animals are highly integrated into our different environments and must be taken care of to maintain a proper life balance. Through the Department of Animal Sciences, students can earn a Veterinary Technology Diploma and prepare for fulfilling careers working with and caring for animals.

As part of a collaborative partnership with the University of Lethbridge, VT Diploma graduates can transfer into a Post-Diploma Bachelor of Arts or Post-Diploma Bachelor of Science (Agricultural Studies) program, provided they have a 2.5 grade point average or higher.

Our campus features an on-site working farm and Animal Hospital with a variety of large and companion animals. Students have several opportunities to gain experience handling, treating, and caring for live patients of all sizes.
