Program Overview
Due to changing family structures such as the rise of nuclear families and an aging population, along with improved quality of life, the demand for companion animals is rapidly increasing. As a result, the companion animal industry continues to grow rapidly every year.
To meet these trends, we strive to train animal care specialists who treat animals with compassion, value the sanctity of life, and are equipped with professional knowledge and skills.
Our department provides hands-on, practice-oriented education aimed at cultivating top-tier animal nurses with strong ethics and compassion. Through practical training based on real-world veterinary hospital settings, we focus on producing well-prepared future animal healthcare professionals who possess both theoretical knowledge and advanced nursing techniques.
