Since 1980, Johnson & Wales University has been a leader in
equine career education. The University offers two degree programs, Equine Business Management and Equine Business Management/Riding. Both degrees are built on a solid business core, scientific equine classes and hands-on practical equine skills. Designed for the student who desires a career in teaching, training and/or farm management; the
Equine Business Management / Riding degree program combines riding instruction focused on dressage and jumping, specialized academic equine courses and equine practicums with business and general studies courses. Specialized equine classes develop the understanding of the function of the horse with study in anatomy, lameness, physiology,
sports therapy, genetics, nutrition, diseases and reproduction. Both equine degree programs offer three specialized Equine Management Practicums which emphasize the hands-on aspects of horse management including: daily care, presentation of the horse in hand, first aid, lunging, long lining and other applied skills. Further classes develop
the ability to evaluate horses for sport, develop a farm management plan, and manage horse shows. Students in the Equine Business Management degree program take the same academic core with additional business courses and do not ride for credit.
