Veterinary Science
With 25 small and large animal vet clinics between Corvallis and Missoula this course allows students to better grasp general concepts employed in the animal science industry. This class provides an in-depth look at different animal organ systems, animal illness/injury, and vet technician practicums. Through an inquiry based, hands on approach students will be more prepared for careers such as vet tech, farm manager, research assistant, or veterinarian. Perhaps this class will give students an advantage in their first few years of undergrad as they compete for a coveted spot in vet school.
