“I was Valedictorian of my high school. I got into Duke, Carolina, Virginia Tech, etc… What drew me in was the Equestrian Program, a specialized degree, and the culture of the campus community. I cherish my time at St. Andrews.”

Matthew Lawson

“The equine business major at St. Andrews is very hands on, with many different instructors and professors who will share their insights with you. The classes are small offering interactions between students and professors allowing you to learn and understand what others think on a subject. The degree sets you up with all the knowledge you need to be successful in the equine industry.”

Liz Shaffer

“The Equine Business Management degree is more than a piece of paper, but rather a representation of the knowledge, skills, and experience that can only be acquired at the St. Andrews Equestrian Program.”

Juliana Moore
