Equine Academic Program
Students interested in pursuing careers in the horse industry or
just improving their knowledge of horses can study equine science in the
Department of Animal Sciences. Under the auspices of the Animal
Agriculture-Equine emphasis, students are expected to take all of the equine
didactic courses available (see below), courses in marketing, basic sciences
and animal science, and to also sign up for “hands-on” credits through the
Equine Practicum, Research in Animal Science course and/or Cooperative
Education. Visit our
"Learning" page for more information.

Is That a Horse in Your Science Class?
On Monday, December 6, 2004,
Rutgerscience featured the Equine Science
Center in a cool full-page mini poster which appeared in all seven Gannett
New Jersey newspapers. As part of the "Newspapers in Education" program, an
additional 40,000 copies were distributed to New Jersey's classrooms. Rutgerscience is all about helping New Jersey's
