Apply to Health Careers

If you are not already an active Tri-C student, you must first apply to the college. If you are interested in more than one health careers program, you must submit a separate health careers application for each program.  You may only apply to three programs at one time.

Veterinary technicians work under the supervision of a veterinarian to provide health care for animals in various settings. Career options for graduate technicians include private practices, emergency clinics, specialty clinics, educational institutions, research facilities, government agencies and zoological parks. Students work with companion animals, food animals, horses, laboratory animals and exotic species throughout this program.
