The equine science option at UNH allows students to pursue an interest in horsemanship while also gaining a solid foundation in equine science. Core courses include genetics, equine disease, equine sports medicine, equine reproduction and animal nutrition. Students also may study subjects ranging from farm waste management to forage and grassland management to animal behavior and cognition. Many students in the program continue their studies in veterinary school or in other graduate-level subjects.

The UNH equine science degree program offers a unique and well-rounded curriculum that combines award-winning equestrian teams with strong academics and outstanding opportunities for hands-on learning, including on-site USEF/USEA-recognized horse trials and a center accredited by the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH), giving students real-world experience in the equine industry. Students in the equine program have daily opportunities to work with horses on campus.
