OVERVIEW - HOW THE PROGRAMS WORK
The Equine Sciences Degree program is entirely a distance learning format. The required courses are all onine and practical horse experience is verified through video and submitted materials. There are 18 online courses separated into three different terms. Degree students will get all the classes relating to hoof care, but no practical instruction in hoof care. All six classes in each term must be passed before advancing to the next term. Classes are completed on your own schedule, however in order to stay on "Active" status, you must complete at least three classes in six months. Students on "Inactive" status are still enrolled, and can continue with classes at any time, but will not be eligible for special active student discounts and access to some chat rooms. Once all classes are completed, the student applies for graduation, and upon verification of completion of all necessary requirements will be awarded The Equine Sciences Degree.

The Hoof Care Certification program is separated into two parts. The first part includes completion of all 18 online courses as described above and three practicums. Practicums are held in the instructors home town. Students travel to various locations to visit different instructors. After completing the first part of the program, the student has earned the Equine Sciences Degree. To earn Hoof Care Certification, the student must then continue on to the second part of the program which includes three case studies and two more practicums. Case studies can be done concurrently and the students can progress at their own pace, but requirements for active status are the same as above. Once all requirements are completed, the student applies for Certification, and upon verification is issued the certificate.
