A program in equine studies focuses on a number of topics related to horses. Classes may include horse anatomy, animal biology, equine reproduction, horseback riding, handling and care, equine nutrition, and rehabilitation.

Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
