Ohio University - Sourthern Campus - Equine Studies Program

by Ron_Petracek

Ohio University Southern Campus is located in Ironton, Ohio and
is a four-year public university that offers both Associate�s and
Bachelor�s degrees. For those students who are seeking a degree
in equine studies, OU Southern offers an Associate�s in Applied
Science Degree in Equine Studies. This program has been developed
to provide students with the knowledge and skills that are
required to have a long and successful career as a trained
professional in the equine industry.

Students who successfully complete the degree will have an
appreciation and understanding of the horse through courses in
anatomy and physiology and through participating in the
psychological process of working hands on with horses. Students
will also know how to care for, feed, and maintain a horse so
that it will be able to reach its highest potential. Besides
learning about the horse itself, students will learn the legal
and ethical issues that the equine industry faces on a daily
basis. Students will also be introduced to the business aspect of
the equine industry along with the training side. Students will
also learn good communication skills that are needed to succeed
in the equine industry today.

The Equine Studies Program is broken into four different parts
with the first section being devoted to equine science and
health. The courses in this section of the program are taught by
a veterinarian with years of equine experience and include
classes in nutrition, reproduction, anatomy and physiology, first
aid, and preventative medicine. The second section of the program
is devoted to the business portion of the equine industry and is
designed to promote the understanding of the financial and
physical aspects of the horse industry. The third portion of the
program is devoted to riding and training horses. Students will
take riding classes in three different seats: western seat, hunt
seat, and saddle seat. The last portion of the curriculum is
devoted to field experience and internships. These are essential
to give the students a realist view of a career that involves
horses.

Graduates of this program will have many different career
options to choose from and students will be able to select
different elective courses to enhance their knowledge in the
field of study that they choose to pursue. Graduates will be able
to find employment in a number of fields including:

� Stable Manager

� Farm Manager

� Riding Instructor

� Equine Records Manager

� Equine Sales and Marketing Agent

� Horse Trainer or Assistant Trainer

� Equine Journalist

� Horse Show or Events Manager

the expenses that are associated with attending college.
