Students choosing the Laboratory Animal Care concentration receive a strong foundation
in biology, chemistry, anatomy & physiology, and mathematics. This program includes
hands-on experience in laboratory animal care through the science internship. This
foundation prepares students for transfer to four-year institutes and employment as
a technician. The biomedical research facility is at the forefront of medical discovery
and serves as one of the primary settings in which a laboratory animal technician
works. At research facilities, laboratory animal technicians and veterinary technologists
typically work under the guidance of veterinarians, research physicians and other
laboratory technicians as a member of an animal care team. For more information about
this program, contact the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Division (STEM),
