Animal Science Technology Diploma: Equine Science Major

Location(s): Main Campus (Vermilion), Face-to-Face (F2F)


Animal Science Technology students within the Equine major will focus on equine training and husbandry. The entire program takes a hands-on approach with small lab groups where we work with and train young horses from start to finish for performance and use in the livestock industry. The students go through the entire production cycle from foaling to growing and marketing these animals. The expectation for students is that they will be set up to make real decisions regarding the business of the equine industry. Health checks and treatments and training schedules are also part of the curriculum. This program provides the background to go out and be a leader in industry or back home on the ranch.

Graduation Requirements:

Students completing the requirements with a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 will be awarded an Animal Science Technology: Equine Science major diploma.
