Named one of “America’s Best Colleges” by U.S News & World Report

Program Requirements:
• Proof of medical insurance for the student is required.
• Because of the sequential nature of certain required courses, students entering in
January will have less flexibility in course selection.
• Students must enroll in two equitation classes (two academic credits each) during their
program. Each course has a fee ($900) and is not counted as part of an overload;
• All equestrian team students must enroll in a riding class each semester which is
therefore not billed as an overload in addition to riding course fee. Non-program
walk-trot riding students may enroll in a riding class or choose an ―equivalent‖ activity
as designated by the head coach;
• An elective equine internship may be taken after the successful completion of three
semesters of coursework in the program. Internships can be arranged during a
semester, between semesters, or during the summer. Students interested in an
internship in another state or abroad should plan on completing the internship during
the summer or should plan on devoting a complete semester to the experience;
• BU 481 is the required internship for the senior capstone experience. Students can
enroll in the course as early as the summer between their junior and senior years;
• Students who are required to take practicums are encouraged to attend summer
college or enroll in winter session or summer session courses at some point if they
plan on finishing the program within four years;
• Students intending to complete the Equine Reproductive Management Certificate
should plan on using some of their elective credits to take the required courses. This
sequence begins in the fall of the junior year and continues through the spring of the
junior and senior years;
• A wide variety of equine electives are offered each semester, including courses in
equine reproduction, horse show management, riding instruction, equine
photography, equine behavior, horse-training techniques, and advanced equine
management, as well as special topics; and
• Students who transfer credits in should be aware that their capstone experience (BU
495), BU 499 and BU 481 must be taken in residence at Cazenovia College.
