Program Overview<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The Equine Science major<\/strong> provides students with an industry-oriented, science-based education that prepares them for careers in the equine industry and related fields.<\/p>\n

Students develop in-depth scientific knowledge of equine physiology and function and learn how to apply those principles to the horse industry. The curriculum supports broad understanding of horses in the business, recreational, and production aspects of the industry through specialized courses that enhance technical, practical, and business skills.<\/p>\n

Equine Science students work with faculty recognized internationally for pioneering research in equine reproduction, lameness, nutrition, and orthopedics.<\/p>\n
