Vet Tech Programs in Wyoming
AVMA lists 1 CVTEA-accredited veterinary technology program in Wyoming: Eastern Wyoming College in Torrington, which awards an Associate in Applied Science and carries plain FULL ACCREDITATION.
There is no bachelor's option on the list.
The state issues no veterinary technician credential — the CVT on job ads is the Wyoming Veterinary Technician Association's designation, earned through an AVMA-accredited program and the VTNE — so this single accredited program is the one in-state route to the letters.

One program, and it awards an associate degree
There is exactly 1 entry under Wyoming on AVMA's list: Eastern Wyoming College, whose Veterinary Technology Program sits in Torrington and awards an Associate in Applied Science.
AVMA shows initial accreditation as April 1976 and the next evaluation as 2029, and the status line is plain FULL ACCREDITATION — no initial, probationary or terminal note appears anywhere on the state's list.
There is no former name to track and no separate campus or distance entry; the list is this single program.
What the entry does not carry is everything else a student compares — schedules, admissions requirements, outcome figures — and those are questions for the school.
Accreditation status changes, so check AVMA's own list for the current entry before you apply.
No program based in Wyoming is on AVMA's distance list
Eastern Wyoming College does not appear on AVMA's separate distance-education list, so no distance program is based in Wyoming.
The distance list names 13 programs in all, each entered under the state where it is based, and this page reproduces it below.
Studying online through one of the distance-list entries means asking, before you commit, whether the program admits students living in Wyoming and how it arranges the supervised clinical hours every accredited program requires at a practice near you.
The program cards lower on this page show each distance entry's home state, so start there.
Wyoming issues no credential — the program serves the association's CVT
Wyoming does not credential veterinary technicians, so no state rule tells a program what to be.
The Wyoming Board of Veterinary Medicine licenses veterinarians and issues one narrow, separate certificate — animal euthanasia technician, under W.S. 33-30-223 to -225 — and W.S. 33-30-203(a)(ix) expressly exempts veterinary aides and other employees of a licensed veterinarian from licensure for supervised auxiliary assistance, so no credential is legally required to do the work.
The CVT on Wyoming job ads is the Wyoming Veterinary Technician Association's designation instead: per the association's May 23, 2025 letter to the legislature, each CVT completes an AVMA-accredited veterinary technician program and passes the VTNE.
That makes the accreditation behind Eastern Wyoming College the property the letters actually recognize, and no on-the-job alternative appears in the sources read.
These are association terms rather than law, so confirm current requirements with the WyVTA before enrolling.
Wyoming Veterinary Technician Association (WyVTA)
No general state technician credential exists. Wyoming licenses veterinarians and issues one narrow, separate certificate — animal euthanasia technician, W.S. 33-30-223 to -225 — while the CVT on job ads is the private designation of the Wyoming Veterinary Technician Association (WyVTA).
For the private WyVTA CVT: an AVMA-accredited veterinary technician program, per the association's own letter to the legislature. No state education route exists, because the state issues no credential.
The VTNE, for the private WyVTA CVT only — the association's letter names the national board examination. The state sets no exam, because it issues no credential.
AVMA’s distance-education list
AVMA names 13 programs on a separate distance-education list. Each is listed under the state where it is based. Whether a program admits students living in Wyoming, and how it arranges clinical placements there, is a question for the program.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many accredited vet tech programs are in Wyoming?
AVMA's CVTEA list, retrieved September 23, 2026, names 1 accredited veterinary technology program in Wyoming: Eastern Wyoming College in Torrington, which awards an Associate in Applied Science.
It is the state's only entry, and its status line is plain FULL ACCREDITATION.
Accreditation status changes, so check AVMA's own list for the current entry before you apply.
Is there a bachelor's-level vet tech program in Wyoming?
No. AVMA's list carries 1 Wyoming program, Eastern Wyoming College, and it awards an Associate in Applied Science, so a student set on a bachelor's in veterinary technology would look beyond this state's list.
The association credential described on this page asks for an AVMA-accredited veterinary technician program and the VTNE, not a particular degree.
Do I need to graduate from an accredited program to work as a vet tech in Wyoming?
Not to do the work.
Wyoming has no state technician credential, and W.S. 33-30-203(a)(ix) exempts veterinary aides and other employees of a licensed veterinarian from licensure for supervised auxiliary assistance.
The letters are different: the Wyoming Veterinary Technician Association's CVT is earned through an AVMA-accredited veterinary technician program plus the VTNE, per the association's May 23, 2025 letter to the legislature, and no on-the-job alternative appears in the sources read.
So the program matters for the designation employers ask for, not for legal permission to work.
Are there online or distance-education vet tech programs for Wyoming residents?
Wyoming has no entry on AVMA's distance-education list: all 13 of its programs are based in other states, each listed under the state where it is based.
Studying online through one of the distance-list entries means asking the program, before enrolling, whether it admits students living in Wyoming and how it arranges the supervised clinical hours at a practice near you.
Is Eastern Wyoming College's vet tech program accredited?
Yes.
AVMA lists Eastern Wyoming College under FULL ACCREDITATION, with initial accreditation shown as April 1976 and the next evaluation as 2029.
Those are AVMA's own printed lines, and the list shows no deficiency note for the program.
Statuses change, so confirm the entry on AVMA's current list before you apply.
