Equine Assisted Services (Minor)

The minor in Equine Assisted Services (EAS) provides students with exposure to several disciplines within this diverse field.  The required courses introduce students to key concepts in equine handling and EAS, including equine skills and the opportunity to prepare for PATH International CTRI instructor certification in therapeutic riding.

The elective courses list for the proposed EAS minor are designed to provide students with supporting knowledge of equine-specific topics and non-profit challenges necessary for professionals working in the EAS field.

Students in the minor will take a total of 20 credit hours. Students must receive a minimum grade of C- in any course used for the minor. Students failing to do this will need to retake the course in order to receive credit. In accordance with University policy, up to 8 credit hours may count for both the minor as well as for the major, second major, or dual major. Students pursuing a degree in Equine Studies will NOT be eligible to complete the minor.
