For the people that said they would like a list of schools, if you look at the very bottom of the article under the resources you will find lists for different levels of degrees. I am just happy that my college was listed. Mine was a community college and not named very often because of it.

If anyone is looking for an equine degree check out William Woods University in Fulton, MO! They offer three different equine degrees that are all four years. They offer H/J, dressage, Western and saddle seat for riding seats. They also have over 150 horses on campus. Check it out!

I live in Logan Utah and Utah State University has a 4 year equine degree program and they just built a new barn and jumping course. 😀 that is where I am going to get my degree.

This is a good article, but I would really love if you could add a list of colleges that offer these degrees. I have been looking around at colleges for planning purposes, and it would make it a lot easier if there was a resource of all colleges that provide equestrian degrees!

When are we going to have Horse College on here? I love it on the other channels and have been anxiously awaiting something equivalent on HC.

The article provides some general information, but also lacks specifics, such as what accreditation actually means…it has nothing to do with the quality of the curriculum or the qualifications of the teachers…The US Dept. of Education doesn’t oversee anything..it hires outside private companies to do accrediting, and accrediting is all about “getting federal funding”…it is not done for the benefit of the student…and learning by apprenticing does not mean you are getting correct information…often just the opposite.

Honestly I think it is best to get a business degree and gain experience with horses on the side or get an animal science degree. With the amount you pay to go to these school the salary and job prospects aren’t great.
