The certificate of completion in the Ranch Horse Management program is offered only at the USU Blanding Campus. It will provide a foundation for students wishing to find careers in the equine industry, but also portions of the beef industry where horses are used in cattle management systems. The certificate of completion is also a beginning pathway for students who decide to purse an associate’s degree in Agricultural Science or a bachelor’s degree in Equine Science and Management.

The following is a sample degree map. Students should meet with an academic advisor for individual plans.
Students must maintain a 2.5 GPA in ADVS prefix courses if they wish to move forward to obtain their BS degree in Equine Science and Management.
