Lone Star College Tomball News

Published on: July 06, 2017 TOMBALL, Texas The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has approved LSC-Tomballs Veterinary Technology program for reaccreditation for the next six years.

"We are very proud of our students, faculty, staff, and advisory committee whose dedication continue to make this program excellent and respected in the community," said Joyce Brod, director of LSC-Tomball's Veterinary Technology program.

Accreditation by the AVMA represents the highest standard of achievement for veterinary medical education in the United States. Institutions that earn accreditation confirm their commitment to quality and continuous improvement through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review. Accreditation, according to the AVMA, is a process by which an educational institution or program submits to a voluntary, non-governmental review to determine whether it meets accepted standards of quality.

Lone Star College-Tomball is proud to provide our community with this outstanding program, said Tom Lescarbeau, who serves as the dean who oversees LSC-Tomballs Veterinary Technology program. As evidenced by the recent reaccreditation of the Veterinary Tech, the faculty and staff work tirelessly to deliver the very best instruction and practical experiences each profession has to offer. Our state-of-the-art facilities ensure each student is well prepared for real-world experiences.

The inaugural degree program of LSC-Tomball began in 1988. Now in its 29th year, the Veterinary Technology program boasts a 99.8 percent passage rate on the state and national board examination. This success rate is unparalleled in the state of Texas and rated as one of the highest passage percentages among the 218 accredited programs in the United States and Canada. The program accepts between 60-70 college-ready, entry-level students once a year each fall through an application process.   

For the last three years, we have had a 100 percent state and national board examination pass rate, Brod pointed out, before adding, Weve had 600 graduates in the 29 years that our program has been in existence.
