“Studying Abroad was eye-opening and enjoyable. I attended Oxford-Brookes University in England (organized by Academic Studies Abroad), which enabled me to take 3 Equine Studies courses that counted towards my major. This was extremely beneficial to keeping me on track for graduation. Through the hands-on nature of the program, the research I completed in my Equine Performance Science, Equine Genetics and Equine Behavior courses, and the many field-trips to stables and the university equine facility, I now have a more well-rounded understanding of the equine world in the UK and globally. I feel more confident because of studying abroad: I believe I am prepared for my future career, whether I want to remain in the United States or find employment abroad.”
