Is there such a thing as an online veterinary school?

Answer by  PZ (1206)

There are schools that offer online veterinary assistant courses but, to become a doctor of veterinary medicine, you must attend college. Vets need hands-on training with real animals and you can't get experience caring for a sick or injured animal online.

I believe their are online programs for veterinary technicians but not for actual licensed veterinarians. This is largely due to the hands on nature of most of the education required of a veterinarian. Any schools you find will probably not provide you with the certifications to be legally employed so your best bet is to find a real school.

No. Veterinary schools, including veterinary technician and veterinarian are not available online. Much like training for being a doctor to humans, the training is intense and in depth. The education criteria also includes a large amount of "hands on" training that is impossible to properly train outside of a classroom.
