Seven Reasons Why We Are Your
Best College Education Choice


      1. Faculty.  Every member of our award-winning faculty has a proven record of success doing what he or she teaches, and they teach practical, use-it-now, real-world information.  Ask questions and get assistance, one-on-one with your instructor anytime; just e-mail for personal attention. No other college or equine study program has such a diversified and experienced staff.  In fact, in many cases, our instructors "wrote the book" other colleges use in their classrooms. 

      2. Online.  This is "new school" offering access to more information and more experts than ever before possible.  "New school" is the future now.  Academic leaders agree online education is equal to and often superior to classroom instruction.  Employers, by more than 90%, say they prefer an online graduate because they are "self-starters, self disciplined and have an immediate impact on business."  Within the next five years, it is estimated every US college will have some type of "online" educational program.

      3. Convenient.  Start any course at anytime, take one course at a time, or several. There are no completion deadlines and you will never be "locked out."  You study when you want to study, working at your pace.

      4. Affordable.  The total cost of a Breyer State University Bachelor of Science degree in Equine Studies is less than $7,000, including the purchase of books.  Traditional equine study BS degree programs average $85,000, and the student who takes a loan for college tuition graduates with an average school debt of $19,000.  When our graduates are presented their diploma, they are free of school debt.  No travel to a campus means no gasoline expenses, room and board expenses, or boarding your horse.

      5. Fast.  Our graduates are earning their Bachelor of Science degree in 22 to 26 months.  There are no prerequisites, no general education courses required.  All courses-120 units of credit-are equine courses.  There are no delays for semesters, or course start dates, holidays, spring or summer closing.  You start any course any time you wish, and then complete the course in your time frame.  The more you already know about horses, the faster you'll move through the course curriculum…this is your fast trac to success.

      6. Broader Scope.  While all degree and certification programs offer the traditional or core courses, as we do, our students study a wider range of subjects, including Traditional Vaquero Hackamore Training, Coat Color Genetics, Legal Aspects of Horse Management, Showmanship in Hand, Preparation for Competition, and The Business of Making Money With Horses.  As the horse world specializes and expands, you need more information and you need it faster.  We update our courses whenever (sometimes daily) there is new information you need, the rules change, or there is an equine science breakthrough.

       7. Leadership.  www.HorseCoursesOnline.com is the world's leading provider of online equine study curriculum, serving more than 2,000 students and 8 international colleges.  We began teaching "distance" horse training techniques by developing a correspondence course for the University of California, extension, Riverside, CA, more than 35 years ago. We joined with Breyer State University in May 2004 to offer the first accredited Bachelor of Science in Equine Studies degree completely online.  Our Professional Horse Trainer and Professional Riding Instructor certifications are granted by the Equine Studies Institute, a HorseCoursesOnline company.
