Do you have to a 2 year degree be vet tech?

You typically need an associate's degree (a 2-year degree) to become a veterinary technician.

However, the specific requirements vary depending on the state. Here's a breakdown:

* Most states require an associate's degree in veterinary technology. This degree is typically offered by community colleges and technical schools.

* Some states accept a certificate program in veterinary technology. These programs may be shorter than an associate's degree and may focus on specific skills.

* All states require passing the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) to become a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT).

Therefore, while a 2-year degree is the most common requirement, it's important to check the specific regulations in your state.
