Equine Science AAS
Locations: Fergus Falls
This program will provide a unique blend of transferable college credit courses along with specific academic and hands-on equine courses. This diploma will give students the introductory skills necessary for careers in stable management, horse training, horse judging, riding instruction or other related occupations. In addition, this program can serve as a starting point for a bachelor degree program in equine science, a pre-veterinary program or a pre-veterinary technology program. Students in this program may also wish to use it as a foundation for a life-long equine learning experience as a horse owner/rider. Courses are taught at the M State campus and at Red Horse Ranch Arena, a world-class training/boarding/events facility located six miles northeast of Fergus Falls. Students will have the opportunity to learn and practice their skills at a busy, private equine business facility. This gives M State students a unique advantage when entering the job market since they will possess a diploma that reflects a combination of academic learning and real-life application.
This program will build upon the introductory skills gained from the Equine Science diploma program at M State and Red Horse Ranch. Additional academic theory and general education transfer courses will be taken online while the student works at an approved internship site. This degree and internship experience will give the student the finished skills necessary for careers in stable management, breeding, training, judging, riding instruction and related occupations.
