Equine Science
Highland's Equine Science programs are designed to prepare students for careers in equine facility management, such as general stable management and riding instruction included. Current employees and horse and equine facility owners with limited training may find it beneficial to gain further knowledge and experience by completing the degree and becoming an equine facility manager.
While the program includes a significant amount of classroom delivery, in many cases the courses will be held off campus to provide the student with as much direct contact with the equine environment as possible. Students currently use the facilities of Ehrler Ranch Equestrian Center in Galena and Country View Equestrian Center in Monroe.
Possible Career Paths
Careers in the equine industry are varied in nature and requirements. There are positions requiring considerable versatility, such as within in a small privately owned facility with only a few employees. Other positions are more specialized and are generally found in large, complex operations.
