About the Equine Emphasis

This degree emphasis prepares you to work in the management, production, and business segments of the equine industry through classes focused specifically on horses, such as horsemanship, equine nutrition, and equine reproduction. You will gain hands-on experience with Arabian horses at the UArizona Al-Marah Equine Center.
