Equine Studies

Lake Erie College's Equine Studies program is your first step on the road to success. The broad-based liberal arts foundation that Lake Erie College provides, combined with a major program of study, is the best preparation for any career. Students learn to think critically, communicate effectively, and develop a sense of confidence that promotes leadership skills. You can turn your avocation for horses into a vocation in the equestrian industry. Many students choose to combine their equestrian interests with studies in the natural sciences, business, psychology, or with preparation for veterinary or graduate school. Additionally, our curriculum addresses the needs of students who will work in a world that is becoming increasingly interdependent, by providing opportunities to learn about peoples and cultures other than their own.


"Our hands-on approach allows our Equine Studies majors to make the leap from textbook learning to real-life decisions with confidence."
