Based in Fulton, Missouri, William Woods Varsity is a private 4 year university that is run with a non-profit motive. The Varsity offers scholars associate degrees, bachelor's degrees and master's degrees that include several exciting options in equine studies.
William Woods University lets students select a major in either of 2 equestrian programs, one of these programs is an Equestrian Science Degree, a four year programme that entitles successful scholars to a baccalaureate degree. The main targets of this programme are scholars fascinated by careers involving horse coaching, teaching of equitation and management of horses. Scholars taking up this program are put through in depth theory in class and practice in the lab and field. Theoretical courses scholars need to finish include equine nutrition, equine anatomy, teaching strategies, stable management and horse evaluation and selection.
Students must also take up one concentration from the four riding disciplines on offer at William Woods University: Western, Dressage, Hunter Jumper and Saddle Seat. Apart from their topic of concentration, students must also give time over a semester to riding in two other concentrations. Students are also taken to take part in equine shows. While it is not compulsory, scholars interested in a training or showing career are encouraged to compete at these shows and gain some valuable experience.
Scholars are also allowed to do their minor in Equestrian studies.
The second degree course the Varsity offers is its Equine Administration Degree. This program is intended for students interested more in careers in equine related businesses than in training or teaching. Courses are concentrated on business organization, facility management, breed associations, event management and entrepreneurship. Students are trained intensively in both theory and application. Course tasks include learning of strategies employed by equine as well as facility management, not to mention event and show management. The tasks also include applied riding over a minimum of three semesters.
All credits for applied riding given to students are derived from a mix of various riding styles taught here. These include hunter/jumper, dressage, Western and saddle seat. Scholars need to finish theory courses that include entrepreneurship, economics, law, promotion and PR and taxation. Scholars also need to go in for five additional computer and business classes to round off their curriculum. Students of this program are free to enter horse show competition if they so desire, on the condition they pay their own expenses of entry, stabling, hauling and anything else.
