Otterbein College in Westerville, Ohio is a four year institution that is run on a non-profit basis. The College's Equine Science Department gives scholars who want to succeed in professions related to the equine industry an inspiring experience. Otterbein Varsity works on the principle that students learn best while doing, and what this means is that students are given all opportunities to practice what they are taught. They trim hooves, make horse shoes, foal mares, give injections, bandage legs and do a lot of other things that make for mandatory practical work in the horse industry.
Otterbein College gives students a choice between one minor and three major streams in equine science. The College's degree in Equine Business & Facility Management is designed to produce graduates well equipped to make their careers in horse-related business and in management of horse-related facilities. The center of the curriculum is the horse, and there's a powerful business element. Potential careers for graduates include:
- Operation of facilities
- Specialisation insurance
- Writing/publishing
- Administrating race tracks, sport disciplines, breed affiliations and facilities for competition
- Management of farms
- Management of events
- Sales
- Promoting/distribution: horse related products.
Students can also take up graduate studies in Business Administration and Law. This major comprises courses from the College's Departments of Business, Accounting, Equine Science, Economics, English, Communication and Mathematics.
Other Equine Science courses available include degrees in Pre-veterinary Medication and Pre-graduate Studies. This unique stream leads to a superb opportunity for scholars to learn some pre-veterinary medicine; it also gives those students who are keen on graduate studies occasions to work with and on horses at the College's equine centre, thus enabling students to graduate with practical vet experience. Students get to meet the requirements for admission into full on vet programs after studying horses closely over four semesters, in which period they get well versed in horse anatomy/physiology, sicknesses/afflictions, current methods of diagnosis and treatment, prognosis and preventative measures. Scholars get the close attention of their advisors and this ensures that they are in a position to meet all prerequisites for entering vet programs.
The College's Equine Health Technology major is based on an understanding of articulation involving the Veterinary Technology Programme of Columbus State Community Varsity and Otterbein College's Equine Science Dept. When they complete their four years, students who have succeeded in meeting the requirements of both institutions are given 2 degrees: Associate of Applied Science from Columbia State and Baccalaureate from Otterbein. These students are now eligible for the National Examination for Veterinary Experts, which enables them to get registration as Veterinary Specialist at the Ohio Vet Medical Licensing Board. The Veterinary Technology Programme of Columbus State has accreditation from the North American Veterinary Medical Association.
Scholars can choose an equine science minor, which has the purpose of providing scholars with other majors an opportunity to build up a robust information base on horses and horse care. These scholars get to improve their equestrian abilities, and are made to take a hands on approach to their course in a rather similar way as the equine studies major scholars are.
Students get to spend considerable time at the College's Equestrian Centre, about five miles to the north. This Centre currently has a barn with 25 stalls, 25 horses, indoor arenas, outdoor arenas, round pens, cross-country courses and quite a few paddocks and pastures.
