  Equine Science (Degree) Gainesville Campus

The Equine Program is designed to give students hands-on experience, real industry application, and a well-rounded curriculum that includes science, business, riding, and training.  Located in the heart of horse country, students not only work within the program but directly with many of the outstanding professionals and facilities in the area thereby gaining important work experience and contacts within the industry.  The diverse student population encompasses individuals from many levels of experience, disciplines, and background including international students that come to study in the program.

Important Notice: Due to the nature of the program space is limited and students are encouraged to apply early.  Students should also note that this is a very rigorous program that requires a large amount of time, significant class loads, and extra work experiences out side of class.  Acceptance to the college does not guarantee acceptance into the Equine Program.  Students must go through an interview process before acceptance will be considered.
