Accreditation
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities (CVTEA) evaluates and awards accreditation to veterinary technology programs. This accreditation is crucial as state veterinary boards require veterinary technicians to have graduated from an accredited program to be eligible to take the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) and state board examinations. This allows new graduates to become credentialed technicians. The program was granted initial accreditation by the AVMA CVTEA in September 2024.
The Board of Trustees of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) reviewed the materials seeking approval of the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree program in Veterinary Technology. It was the decision of the Board to approve the program and include it in the scope of the current accreditation.

Institutional Research, Assessment and Planning (IRAP) maintains the general learning goals of each academic program broken down into specific student learning outcomes (SLOs). These SLOs represent what a student should be able to do as a result of successfully completing the program.
