Equine Science Degree Plan:

     The Equine Science concentration includes courses in several aspects of the production, training, and management of horses.  As one part of the agricultural industry, the horse industry offers a variety of employ opportunities.  Some careers require direct contact with horses, and others simply require knowledge of or background in horses.  Students interested in working in this type of industry should choose the this option.  Qualified graduates may pursue rewarding careers in various areas of the equine industry.
