WHY STUDY

E Q U I N E AT J W U ?

D O YO U L O V E W O R K I N G W I T H AND RIDING HORSES? Do you have an aptitude in science and want to combine your interests?

Major in Equine Science or Equine Business Management to turn your passion into a career.

At Johnson & Wales, experience is the difference. From day one, you will be immersed in a professionally focused curriculum. Through education that instills a love of learning to industry connections that put that love into practice, we work by your side to turn your passion into a life.

INTO IT ALL

O U R L I F E ’ S W O R K I S YO U R S

You’ll have the opportunity to participate in a variety of extracurricular equine activities, including seminars and clinics with nationally recognized speakers from the equine industry and annual field trips to Equine Affaire and regional farms.

JWU’s equine instructors have broad experience in their fields, offer realistic insight into industry responsibilities and know what it takes to succeed.

Many of them bring real-world projects into the classroom or arrange for you to work on current projects with real companies. It doesn’t get more real than that. They also bring industry leaders into the classroom to teach you about opportunities in your field and help you find the career path best suited to your interests.

You can join our competitive hunter seat or dressage team and become an active participant with the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) and Intercollegiate Dressage Association (IDA). Both teams are consistently competitive at the national level. Any JWU student studying any major can join one of our two riding teams.

At JWU, we want you to imagine everything your future can be. And then we’ll help you work toward it.
