What our students have to say
“I really enjoyed that we got to work with rescue groups and other homeless animals. I also enjoyed the small class sizes.” – Nicole Berg, Minnesota School of Business-St. Cloud
“Besides your animal care duties, you will be pulled out of class to help with things like vaccinations, clip nails, help with physical exams, prep for surgery—it’s very hands-on. If you are willing to learn, you will learn, because you are thrown into those situations every day with proper supervision.” – Callie Keeley, Minnesota School of Business-Rochester
