Curriculum Revision in the Veterinary Science Technology Program
We propose the following addition to the requirements of the Veterinary Science Technology
Program:
Students must achieve a minimum passing grade of C in each VS/VST course in order to
graduate from the Veterinary Science Technology Program. Any VS/VST course that is
not passed or is withdrawn from may be repeated only once.
This proviso is commonly utilized in many Veterinary Science Technology Programs across the
county according to an informal list serve member poll of the Association of Veterinary
Technician Educators.
The goal of implementing a minimum grade guideline and course repetition limit is to produce a
graduate that has at least an basic (average) knowledge base from which to start a career as a
veterinary technician.
