THere is no 4 year degree program for vet tech. so you 2 year program is the best option. they will probably also place you in a local vet to do an itnernship which will give you experience in the field and most likely land you a job right after graduation.
However if you do decide to become a veterinarian in the future, non of the credits that you took from WSOHB will transfer. your experience as a VET tech might come handy when it comes to applying to post bac VET schools. It is as hard to become a vet than to be a medical doctor.
SO if you want to become a veterenarian, its a long road but the reward is big. You will need to finish a 4 year bachelors degree in anything plus you need fullfill the pre requisite courses which are the same as regular medical school.
English: 6 semester credits (at least 3 must be in composition).
Physics: 8 semester credits, including 2 laboratories.
Chemistry: 12 semester credits, including laboratory in at least one course; 8 semester credits in general chemistry; and at least 4 semester credits in organic chemistry.
Biology or Zoology: 9 semester credits, (3 courses) at least one course of which must cover the basic principles of genetics.
Social Sciences or Humanities: 6 semester credits.
Calculus: 3 semester credits.
Stats or Biostats: 3 semester credits (effective for Fall 2008/2009 entrance). Biostats only (effective Fall 2010 entrance).
A grade of C (2.0) or better must be earned for these courses.
closest vet school to pittsburgh is in philly
I graduated from pitt with a degree in anthropology and historic preservation then worked for 5 years. Took 2 years of pre med courses after graduation. I’ll be attending medical school this fall.
Good luck!
