Dual Minors

Although it is unlikely that a student will have time to complete a major and two of the minors listed above, the core courses of BIO 101 (or BIO 110), EQS 110, EQS 116 and EQS 225 may be applied to more than one minor from this department. For example, this would allow a student to indicate an education in equine reproduction and equestrian teaching to strengthening her or his application to a future employer or career choice.

Minoring Within the Equestrian Studies Major

Students majoring in equestrian studies will not be eligible to have a minor within the department. Students who want to show a broad educational background in equestrian studies should complete both the equine management and equestrian management concentrations.
