You can earn an associate of applied science in veterinary technology at the Community College of Denver. The more specialized Bel-Rea Institute of Animal Technology is one of the largest schools in the United States that trains veterinary technicians. Students planning to become veterinary doctors will want to start with a strong bachelor's degree like the bachelor of science in biology with concentrations in animal technology and pre-medical studies at the University of Denver, or the pre-veterinary medicine program at the University of Colorado. Colorado State University's College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in nearby Fort Collins offers several graduate programs including clinical sciences, cell and molecular biology, and integrated livestock management. The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment predicts job growth for animal health professionals in the state of Colorado through 2012. Veterinarians can expect 2.3% annual job growth, and veterinary technologists can expect 3.8% growth annually. |
