Veterinary Technology careers<\/h5>\n

Dr. Richard Flora, dean of the Veterinary Technology degree programs at St. Petersburg College<\/a>, shared that \u201cemployment opportunities for veterinary technicians have been increasing and are expected to continue to increase.\u00a0 The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the demand for veterinary technicians to grow at 19 percent between 2014 and 2024, much higher than the average for all professions.\u201d<\/p>\n

On-campus and online<\/h5>\n

If you are concerned about available time to attend campus classes, you can earn your degree in Veterinary Technology by attending class fully online (either an associate or bachelor\u2019s degree). If you have more flexibility and prefer the traditional classroom environment, you can obtain your associate degree on-campus.<\/p>\n

SPC’s programs are accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association<\/a> and offer students engaging and varied learning experiences, whether the student is on campus or online.<\/p>\n

Educational opportunities abroad<\/h5>\n
