Equine Business Management

Recognizing the industry's broad career options and the need for equine professionals in a variety of capacities, Findlay offers a major in Equine Business Management. This is designed for the student who wishes to pursue a career in the horse industry other than in the area of training.
The Equine Business Management Program combines fundamental equine science courses, and more advanced management topics, with traditional business administration classes. Courses such as Equine Marketing and Equine Law address issues impacting the equine industry and offer strategies for establishing equine-related enterprises.
