Teresa’s Answer

Looks like you can get an Associates (AA) degree in Animal Care. From their website:

Animal Care from Berkshire Community College - Pittsfield MA is a Campus Certificate Animal Science degree that prepares you for a Agriculture career. Students interested in the Animal Care certificate program is urged to consult the program advisor and to work on prerequisites and required courses in other areas during the years when the Animal Care courses are not offered. The program prepares students for employment as animal care assistants working with veterinarians and other professionals involved in animal health care and management. Veterinary hospitals, equine training and management facilities, animal breeders, large farms, and breeding and grooming facilities are some employers of animal care assistants. Berkshire Community College's Animal Care program requires 300 hours of hands-on experience at veterinary hospitals and animal care facilities; many veterinary colleges expect such practical experience for admission. Students have the opportunity to work with many different animals including dogs, cats, birds, livestock, and horses. View more details on Berkshire Community College . Ask your questions and apply online for this program or find other related Animal Science courses.

Karen’s Answer

Hi Harley Marie,

The BCC Biological Science concentration in the Liberal Arts degree program prepares students to transfer into baccalaureate programs in pre-veterinary related programs, among other programs/professions.

The Environmental Science degree program emphasizes biodiversity studies coupled with natural resource management for sustainable ecosystems. The program fosters community connections with conservation agencies, local schools, and resource-related industries through service-learning, directed and independent studies, and frequent field trips.

You can also take courses individually such as our Animal Care Practicum where you will get Clinical experience provided for students training for veterinary assistant positions; sponsors at working farms will offer training in large animal care and management.

Below are the links to the programs I mentioned. -Karen R.L.
