Q. I'm trying to decide what to major.in at college. There wasn't very much about exotic veterinarians online.
A. You can major in anything you want. Vet schools only care that you've met their pre-requisites. If you want to do exotic medicine, then consider zoology or wildlife biology. Other good choices would be biochemistry or microbiology, those will be very helpful in vet school.
Exotic medicine is one of the most competitive fields in veterinary medicine. Try to volunteer at a wildlife rehab facility or at a zoo. Make sure you choose a vet school that has a good exotics program.

A. You need a Bachelor's degree to attend vet school. This can be in any field as long as you take the required prerequisites for vet school.
There is one vet school in Virginia- Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine www.vetmed.vt.edu
There are only 28 vet schools in the US. Admission is extremely competitive. If you do get into any you most likely will have to leave your state.

What kind of online schools do you recommend?
Q. I'm thinking about going to an online college or at least try to. Since I live in a small town and I can't afford to move around. The major I want to be in is a Vet technician. I thought about going and trying to use Penn Foster, but again; I'm not sure if is a good online college.
What kind of online colleges do you recommend? Or colleges in general?

A. You need to choose one that is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association. Penn Foster is but I've heard mixed things about them. I have heard that they are more expensive than some of the others and do not accept federal aid. Here is a list of AVMA accredited on-line tech programs. As long as it's AVMA accredited you're fine though.

Note that all accredited programs require you to find a veterinarian willing to teach you the hands on clinical skills required to be a veterinary technician. Some programs will help place you and others leave it entirely up to you. So, if you don't already have a relationship with a veterinarian then you might consider this when determining which program is for you.
