Vet Tech Program Granted Continued Full Accreditation

Palo Alto College’s Veterinary Technology Program has been granted continued full accreditation from the American Veterinary Medical Association's (AVMA) Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities (CVTEA).

Full Accreditation denotes that the program has met or exceeds all Standards of Accreditation.
Eleven program strengths were identified including the affordability of the program, the contemporary, state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, and the dedicated, enthusiastic Program faculty and staff.

Accreditation by the AVMA CVTEA represents the highest standard of achievement for veterinary medical education in the United States. By maintaining continued accreditation, PAC’s program has ensured that its graduates meet a competency threshold for entry into practice, including eligibility for professional credentialing, and that the program measures up to national standards for veterinary technology teaching programs.

PAC’s Veterinary Technology program is one of only seven accredited veterinary technology programs in the state of Texas and 154 nationwide.

Palo Alto College, one of the Alamo Colleges, is a fully accredited community college located on the Southside, and awards associate degrees, short-term certificates and offers non-credit continuing education classes. The campus is located at 1400 W. Villaret Blvd. at I-410 South and Texas Hwy. 16 or online at www.accd.edu/pac.
