Enrollment Increases 128% In Six Years - Tiffin University

Equine
Business Management
TU students have the opportunity for a hands-on experience leading to a dynamic
and challenging career in the horse industry.
As part of the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) – Equine Business
Management concentration, students learn the fundamentals and practices
of equine health and operations management. Through the program, they
receive real world experience in communicating with veterinarians, horse specialists,
and horse owners about the issues related to managing in the industry
such as record keeping, veterinary care and facilities maintenance. The managerial
skills that students acquire make them more marketable in industries
related to horses.
The Equine Business Management concentration began in 2008 in a partner-
ship with Guelph University in Canada. During the 2008-2009 academic year,
students took their equine courses online through the Canadian university.
However, TU decided in 2009 to move the courses to the Tiffin campus to provide
students with a more direct experience, according to Dr. Perry Haan, Dean
of the School of Business.
“It just seemed to make sense to have the students working with and learning
from local people working in the industry,” he explains.
