WHY VETERINARY?
Veterinarians care for the health of animals and work to improve public health. They diagnose, treat, and research medical conditions and diseases of pets, livestock, and other animals. Most veterinarians work in private clinics and hospitals. Others travel to farms, work in laboratories or classrooms, or work for the government.
You may earn an Associate’s degree at Muskegon Community College to transfer to a four-year college/university. Veterinarians must have a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from an accredited veterinary college, as well as a state license.
