Undergraduate

Bachelor of Science (Veterinary Bioscience)

This three-year program provides students with foundational knowledge in preclinical and paraclinical disciplines to allow them then progress to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program.  

During the program, students discover how to handle and care for animals, and begin to understand how they behave and what makes them fit and healthy. They study the structures of the body and how they function, and unearth the diversity of viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites that cause disease. Students learn how to analyse disease at the population level, and how to seek the evidence that underpins veterinary science. They also engage with industry – on placement – to understand animal husbandry practices and the professional roles of veterinarians in our community. 

Postgraduate

Doctor of Veterinary Medicine   

Graduates of the Bachelor of Science (Veterinary Bioscience) gain direct entry into the three-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program, completion of which bestows upon graduates the privilege to register as a veterinarian.  

Theoretical training gradually gives way to hands-on, immersive clinical experiences in real-world environments. Initially, students discover fundamental disease processes, what to use and when to treat sick animals, hands-on clinical skills and how to conduct research. This is followed by uncovering the clinical management of pets, livestock, horses and wildlife, and how veterinarians contribute to public health and biosecurity.   

The final year engages students in real-world case management opportunities on campus, on placement and through electives so they develop comprehensive veterinary skills and become ‘job ready’. Our industry placements and state-of-the-art facilities deliver a vast array of opportunities for future veterinarians. We use novel teaching methodologies such as high-fidelity simulation technologies, simulation-based education and virtual reality (VR) which contributes to an improved and safer learning experience and patient care – for today and tomorrow.   

Completion of the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree offers limitless career opportunities to make a positive impact on a healthy and sustainable world.

Animals, aquatic life and household pets have intrigued Brandon McIntyre since childhood. 

The Lawrenceville, Georgia, native will soon turn that fascination into a professional career. 

On Saturday, May 11, McIntyre will graduate from Fort Valley State University (FVSU) with a Bachelor of Science degree in veterinary technology. FVSU’s 2024 Spring Commencement Ceremony will take place at 9:30 a.m. in Wildcat Stadium.

“I decided to attend FVSU because after researching different veterinary colleges in Georgia, I found out that the institution has a very reputable program,” the 22-year-old said.

However, McIntyre did not make up his mind to fulfill his childhood dream until his senior year of high school. 

“I did dual enrollment at Georgia Gwinnett College. While in the program, I started taking early veterinary classes and exploring various aspects of the major.  It wasn’t until this point that I decided this is the career I wanted to pursue.”

Once enrolled at FVSU, McIntyre immersed himself into his studies and enjoyed campus life. 

“Overall, I would say that my experience as an undergraduate student has been excellent. Everything from my major and the professors in my department, living on campus and my interactions with other people has been enjoyable. I’ve never encountered any problems while an undergraduate at FVSU.” 

Furthermore, he credits Dr. Saul Mofya, head of the veterinary technology department, for helping him successfully complete his academic journey. 

“I consider him to be a mentor, a role model and a very serene and knowledgeable man,” McIntyre said.

When not hitting the books, the Lawrenceville native spent most of his free time in various community service activities. This included participating in campus clean-up projects, donating goods to the general public and decorating the campus during homecoming. 

The soon to be FVSU alumnus plans to steer interested students to attend the middle Georgia institution. 

“I would say that Fort Valley is a family-oriented school that looks out for its students in all aspects. From living on campus to interactions with faculty and staff, there is someone there for you. On top of that, it offers a variety of majors including the new nursing program.” 

As a member of FVSU’s 2024 graduating class, McIntyre says he is excited about his achievement, knowing that all the work he put in will slowly pay off. 

“I also feel a great deal of comfort, knowing that I can start a new chapter in my life outside of college with the knowledge I have gained.”

McIntyre hopes to have an informative and positive impact on his clients once he starts his career. 

“By doing so, I can build strong client patient relationships. In addition to this, I want my clients to be up front and trust me with their situations,” he said.

After graduation, McIntyre plans to take the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) and work at a small animal hospital or equine facility. 

“I’m ready to find myself setting off for a new stage in my life,” McIntyre said.
