About the program...

 Veterinary Technology (VT) is a restricted enrollment undergraduate major offered through the VM College.   All the general education courses must be completed before enrollment in the Veterinary Technology Program. Completion of these requirements do not guarantee admission to the program.  General education courses at colleges and universities other than Michigan State University should be selected with the aid of the Veterinary Technology Advising Office.   You should choose the degree option that matches your career goals.   For assistance with the decisions concerning degree options and course selections, you can reach a veterinary technology advisor at (517) 353-7267.   For MSU general education requirements, click here: http://admissions.msu.edu/transferguide/default.asp
