They play an integral role in many areas of veterinary clinical practice, including medical, surgical, laboratory, and office procedures. All tasks are performed under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian. Compassion for animals is essential, because the main focus of individuals employed as veterinary technicians is the treatment and nursing of healthy and sick animals.The American Veterinary Medical Association accredits Columbus State's Veterinary Technology program. The Associate of Applied Science Degree in Veterinary Technology provides students with both classroom and clinical experiences. Students also will spend a portion of their clinical experience in various veterinary settings, including research centers, private clinical practices, veterinary emergency hospitals, veterinary diagnostic laboratories, and zoos. Columbus State Community College emphasizes safety and disease prevention because students and employees in health care professions may be exposed to infectious materials, communicable, and zoonotic diseases.Columbus State Community College also offers an evening Veterinary Technology program designed for the working student. The evening/part-time program can be completed in 11 semesters with classes starting no earlier than 5:00 p.m. When evening students are enrolled in the Clinical Experience A-D courses, daytime availability will be required in order to provide quality education and training in the veterinary health care field.For students interested in equine health, a joint program has been developed between Columbus State's Veterinary Technology and Otterbein University's Department of Equine Science. Successful completion of these two programs will result in an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Veterinary Technology from Columbus State Community College, and the Bachelor of Science Degree in Equine Veterinary Technology from Otterbein University. For more information, contact Dr. Stephanie Burk, sburk@otterbein.edu.For students interested in animal science, a joint program has been created between Columbus State's Veterinary Technology and The Ohio State University's Department of Animal Science. Successful completion of these two programs will result in an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Veterinary Technology from Columbus State Community College, and the Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture from The Ohio State University. For more information, please contact Mariette C. Benage, benage.1@osu.edu. Special advising with the program coordinator is necessary for students who wish to participate in these joint programs."},"ceterms:dateEffective":"2000-01-01","ceterms:estimatedCost":[{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:price":192.93,"ceterms:currency":"US Dollar","ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.cscc.edu/academics/tuition-and-fees/other-academic-fees.shtml","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"The cost of this credential includes tuition (instructional and general fee per credit hour), application, records, and ID fee, technology and facilities fee, online course fee (if applicable), lab fees (if applicable), proficiency examination fee (if applicable), transient student fees (if applicable), and non-traditional credit fee (if applicable)."},"ceterms:directCostType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CostType","ceterms:targetNode":"costType:Tuition","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Cost Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Tuition"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Cost for teaching and instruction."}}},{"@type":"ceterms:CostProfile","ceterms:name":{"en-US":"Cost Profile"},"ceterms:price":410.0,"ceterms:currency":"US Dollar","ceterms:costDetails":"https://www.cscc.edu/academics/tuition-and-fees/other-academic-fees.shtml","ceterms:description":{"en-US":"The cost of this credential includes tuition (instructional and general fee per credit hour), application, records, and ID fee, technology and facilities fee, online course fee (if applicable), lab fees (if applicable), proficiency examination fee (if applicable), transient student fees (if applicable), and non-traditional credit fee (if applicable)."},"ceterms:directCostType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CostType","ceterms:targetNode":"costType:EnrollmentFee","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Cost Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Enrollment Fee"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Cost to enroll in the learning opportunity being described."}}}],"ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/25-1071.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"25-1071.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Health Specialties Teachers, Postsecondary"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Teach courses in health specialties, in fields such as dentistry, laboratory technology, medicine, pharmacy, public health, therapy, and veterinary medicine."}},{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2056.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"29-2056.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Veterinary Technologists and Technicians"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Perform medical tests in a laboratory environment for use in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases in animals.
