The Veterinary Technology Program SLOs relate directly to the mission of Yuba College as reflected by the institutional student learning outcomes.

It should be noted that each course within the Veterinary Technology curriculum will have course-specific student learning outcomes. It is with the accomplishment of these SLOs that the more broadly-based Program learning outcomes are actualized.
