Originally started as a test to see how much interest the program would generate, C.W. Post officials report eight months later that the program is attracting residents from across Nassau, Suffolk and Queens and enrollment has nearly doubled. As word spreads about C.W. Post's unique program, we're gaining momentum as interest and enthusiasm build among professional and newcomers alike. The only program of its kind on Long Island, the Equine Studies certificate is designed for individuals interested in learning the skills necessary to either obtain an entry level position or move up the career ladder within the horse industry. The program focuses on employer-based needs for the horse industry and consists of 10 courses leading to a Certificate in Equine Studies. Students can learn the latest techniques in such areas as stable management, conformation and selection, farrier science, reproduction and breeding, equine health, and operations management.
Students have the option of pursuing the certificate or taking individual classes.
Classes are held at the C.W. Post Campus in Brookville. The Equine Studies program has expanded its openings to allow more students to register for the fall semester.
