This Question Is From: Pharmacy Technician Schools in Missouri and has 2 Answers
Has anyone here attended/graduated from or known students/graduates of William Woods University in Fulton, MO?
I am seriously considering a change of major/career and school, as I am starting to believe pharmacy is not going to make me happy, as I can’t just give up on my passion for horses.
What do you know about their Equine Science/Equine Administration majors, barn, horses, showing, etc.? What is your overall opinion; is it worth it, and a good program?
I remember once quite a while ago I met some of their students/horses at the St. Louis National Charity horse show, and they all seemed very pleased with the program and the opportunities it gave them, but it was quite some time ago.
Otherwise, suggest other Missouri colleges that offer a better Equine Science program, or Midwest colleges that offer it with inexpensive tuition?
I am looking at William Woods because it is in-state and I believe I would be qualified after my transfer for quite a bit of scholarships and transfer credit. I think with my previous credits from KU I would be able to complete the degree in 4 semesters as well.

I had a good friend who graduated from WWU. She started in the equine program, but later switched out of it because she felt it to be somewhat remedial. She had been riding and showing Arabians for many years and was not allowed to clep out of the beginning classes. She (and her parents) were forced to pay for classes which taught people to groom and tack up horses. She never felt challenged and felt she was better served in her horse career by working at local show barns. That being said, the academics were good enough to get her into DO school. She is successfully working as a DO in Arizona.
i would suggest to major in animal science or do pre-vet and minor in equine science. having a pharmacy background is really good too, so you can either continue with it or use it towards the animal stuff. a lot of those classes should transfer and count since most of them overlap. in the horse industry you do not need a degree at all, and it doesn’t matter if you have one or what it is in, like it does in other jobs. in the horse industry it is hard labor and practical work, so you get your training on the job, not in school. its better to work in a barn then learn it from college classes. the classes offered are very basic and usually a joke to people who have experience with horses. it is good to be very knowledgeable about horses, but that you learn when you work with them as well. so it is better to have more of an animal science or vet or even pharmacy (so you’re updated on the new drugs) background rather than doing a major that is only horses. you can always pair any of those with a business degree as well. that is probably the best combination b/c if you one day decide that a career with horses isn’t for you, you have a better chance of getting a different type of job as well.
