Located in the heart of Kentucky’s world-famous horse country, Midway University is the perfect place to follow your passion and train for a career in the equine industry. The University sits on a 200-acre working horse farm, providing students with a unique opportunity to walk out their front door and straight to the barns for hands-on experience.
When you decide to enroll in our equine science program, you will have access to expert faculty members, practical experience in the barns and a wide array of exciting internships.
No matter where you want your degree to take you, we can put you on the path to success. We welcome students to visit campus and learn more about our equestrian programs.

Equine Studies students can choose from three focus areas for their degree to tailor their individual focus. All undergraduate students gain hands on experience on our 200-acre farm. Students can also earn a specialized graduate degree with our Equine MBA concentration.

The Equine Management concentration is designed to develop strong farm operation and facilities management skills. Students will take the core equine studies courses for the major but then select Equine Management as their area of concentration and complete 20 credit hours of course work.

Caring for the animal's well-being is the central focus of the Equine Rehabilitation program. This degree path will help students develop strong, applicable skills in the areas of rehabilitation, exercise physiology, Eastern medicine, nutrition and pharmacology.

Students in this program area will complete all the major courses and then 21 credit hours focused on science. Those students considering veterinary school may choose this path to prepare for their post graduate work.

This 100% online program is ideal for students who are interested in joining the equine industry but may not be interested in horse handling. Students in this program develop strong business, marketing, and sales knowledge.

For students who wish to continue their education, Midway offers a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with Equine Management concentration. Undergraduates can work with their advisor as part of the MBA 4+1 program that allows 6 credit hours in the student's senior year as credit for both the undergraduate and graduate degree.
