Classes are transmitted directly to students twice weekly for a total of 6 hours/week on average (3 hours per class period, except summer sessions which are 4 hour class periods). Students are required to work in a veterinary hospital a minimum of 20 hours per week as a formal preceptorship for the duration of the three-year program. Students are also required to attend laboratories on the BRCC campus 3 times per semester on average, typically all day on Friday. Applications are due in January each year for the upcoming class.
All students are required to attend laboratories at BRCC as listed above.
A student in the DE option needs to have a solid relationship already established with a veterinary hospital that has a dedicated staff willing to fulfill the responsibilities of a 3-year preceptorship. A DE student needs to be responsible, self-motivated and have an ability to work independently in a rigorous academic environment.
Prospective students wishing to participate will provide documentation of a web camera equipped computer with broadband access at the location they intend to be during the scheduled class times. A live connection with the prospective student using the hardware and connection noted above will be part of the application process.
The DE option will only admit out-of-state students that are engaged in a preceptorship within the state of Virginia.
