Biological Science - Laboratory Animal Care

64 credit hours - Program Code: ALAAC

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.
