PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Horse Management program at Michigan State University has been in place since 1984. The program emphasizes management and equine skills that will prepare students for positions in Michigan's growing horse industry. There are many opportunities for students in the saddle, pleasure and race horse industry, if they have the proper training in management and production techniques. This program offers the most current training available in these areas.

Leaders within the horse industry have been very supportive and are ready and willing to work closely with our students. Placement training will give our students a semester of solid, working and learning experience.

This technical training program consists of three 15-week, on campus semesters and placement training of at least 15 weeks, for a total of 48 credits. A certificate is granted at the completion of the program requirements.
