Equine Health Technology (B.A.)
This course of study prepares you for a career as a Registered Veterinary Technician. The student may be qualified to work as a professional technician at any veterinary clinic or hospital, rehabilitation center, or breeding facility.
This major is derived from an articulation agreement between Columbus State Community College's Veterinary Technology Program and Otterbein's Department of Equine Science. Columbus State Community College's Veterinary Technology Program is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association.
Students complete half of their clinical experience at The Ohio State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital and half at a veterinary medical practice. Students should be aware that Columbus State's tuition cost varies depending upon Ohio residency status.
At the end of four years, with the successful completion of requirements from both institutions, the student will:
- Receive an Associate of Applied Science degree from Columbus State Community College
- Receive a Baccalaureate degree from Otterbein College
- Be eligible to take the Veterinary Technician National Examination
- Become registered as a Veterinary Technician by the Ohio Veterinary Medical Licensing Board
