About

The Vet Tech Institute of Houston is a specialized career college dedicated entirely to preparing students for animal healthcare through its AVMA-accredited Associate of Applied Science in Veterinary Technology program. The institute features an intensive, 18-month accelerated curriculum that emphasizes practical skills through direct clinical training in on-site surgical suites, diagnostic laboratories, and animal housing facilities. The student experience is fast-paced, collaborative, and career-driven, centered on a close-knit community of animal lovers participating in hands-on daily animal care and kennel rotations. This targeted training uniquely prepares graduates to sit for the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) and immediately transition into veterinary practices, shelters, and research facilities.
