Veterinary Science
For students with a sincere love for the care and medical treatment of animals, the Veterinary Science program will allow you to explore turning your passion for animals into a lifelong career.
Students will study the history and evolution of various species, learn about breeds, anatomy, physiology, reproduction, digestion and nutrition, health and behavior management, animal housing and much more. You will also establish a new vocabulary with the use of medical terminology. Classroom demonstrations will help you better understand life processes and the structure of organisms as you develop your observation skills. The Grayson Tech and Gwinnett Tech Surgical Suite is a partnership in which surgical procedures will be performed within the classroom with the help of the Gwinnett County Animal Shelter, Gwinnett Technical College Veterinary Technology Program and Grayson Technical Education Veterinary Science Program. This program will fulfill the fourth science requirement for graduation as well as the Board of Regents admission requirement.
