• The Bromeley-Daggett Equestrian Center, a state-of-the-art facility at the Maris Cuneo Equine Park

• Courses in English and Western riding as well as theory

• A design-your-own-major through our Track II program

• Competitive varsity and junior varsity intercollegiate teams

"The Track II, or non-traditional create your own major allows me to think outside the box and allows more concentrated time for what I am interested in. I have combined Chemistry, Biology, and Equine Studies to give me a more diverse course of study to form a Pre-Vet curriculum for admission to a Commonwealth Veterinary School. I feel it has made me a more rounded person and I am very enthusiastic about having a greater possibility of attending a veterinary school."
