Navajo Technical University offers a Veterinary Technology Program
Navajo Technical University’s Veterinary Technology Program is gearing up for a strong Spring 2026 semester, backed by an experienced team dedicated to hands-on training and student success.
Dr. Joseph Bahe, Director of the NTU Veterinary Teaching Hospital, continues to oversee both clinical training and community veterinary services while fostering growth in NTU’s veterinary technology and animal science programs.
Joining the spring roster is Dr. Joel O. Alabi, originally from Nigeria via North Carolina, who will teach five courses and concentrate on preparing students for careers in the veterinary field and graduate studies.
NTU alumna and Registered Veterinary Technician Krystal Louis brings practical field experience and USDA internship training to help students develop the skills necessary for licensure exams and professional practice.
The program is also supported by Kimberlynnibah Yazzie, the Office Manager of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, who earned an Animal Science degree from Oklahoma State University and is pursuing a master’s in Agriculture with a focus on Domestic Animal Biology.
This Spring 2026, NTU will offer a comprehensive selection of Veterinary Technology and Animal Science courses at the Crownpoint campus, featuring hands-on labs, clinical rotations, and real-world experience through the university’s active teaching hospital.
NTU remains committed to preparing the next generation of veterinary professionals to serve their communities, livestock industries, and regional animal health.
