How many years of college does it take to become a diagnostic medical sonographer?

How many years of college would it take If I wanted to get a major in Equine Sciences and become a Vet Tech?

• I want a job as a Veterinary Technician; however, I am a barrel racer and have a passion for horses and I would like to have more knowledge about them and get a major in Equine Sciences. How many years of college would this take?

• Answer:

  A major in equine science is 2-8 years depending on the level of degree you want to earn. Then you would have to have a 2 year degree in veterinary technology in most states in order to work as a veterinary technician. Another option if your overall goal is to become a veterinary technician would be to get your degree in veterinary technology and then specialize in equine nursing through the Academy of Equine Veterianry Nursing Technicians.
