鈥淭his is an incredible accomplishment,鈥 said Melissa Best, program director. 鈥淲hile our cohorts are smaller, when compared to other Ohio Veterinary Technology schools, we provide an exceptional education for our students by providing more one-to-one instruction and smaller classroom faculty-to-student ratios.鈥
