Programs that prepare you to succeed in your career of choice or continue your education to a four-year degree program.
The Thompson School of Applied Science offers exceptional two-year degree programs in Applied Animal Science, Forest Technology and Veterinary Technology — three dynamic fields with many exciting job opportunities in New Hampshire and beyond.
As a student in one of our associate degree programs, you will experience a wide range of hands-on learning opportunities and gain the knowledge you need to stand out in a competitive marketplace as soon as you graduate.
Plus, unlike schools that offer only two-year degrees, the Thompson School’s associate degree programs are closely connected to the university’s corresponding four-year programs, sharing award-winning faculty and leading-edge courses and resources. That means you’ll have a clear pathway to completing your four-year bachelor’s degree, should you choose.
Your life, your options. We’ll make sure you’re ready.
