The purpose of the Equine Management Concentration is to prepare individuals to assume roles in businesses relating to horses. The format allows for a strong business background mixed with equine-related courses that can prepare the student to deal with many aspects of the equine industry from owning a stable to managing a reproduction facility. Students will be required to work in a Becker associated stable caring for the horses on a daily basis. Some of the equine-required courses will involve hands-on work. In addition the student has the opportunity to take free electives (i.e. not required toward the degree) in equitation, dressage, and other riding modalities. Graduates of this program should be able to demonstrate an understanding of business and management concepts in addition to an understanding and competency in the care of, handling of, and management of horses of all ages and physical abilities.
