In fact, we have had horses on our campus since we were founded in 1896 as the National Farm School. Today, DelVal students may explore career paths in this field by majoring in Equine Management or Equine Science.
As an Equine Management major, you will have the opportunity to prepare for a career in breeding management, equine nutrition, stable management, retail management, therapeutic program director or veterinary management, to name a few.
The Equine Science major prepares you for these career paths and also has tracks for pre-professional studies (to enter veterinary or graduate school) or prepare for a career in the breeding industry.

Delaware Valley University’s Chair of the Department of Equine Science and Management and Director of Equestrian Sports, Dr. Cory Kieschnick, was the latest featured guest on KYW Newsradio’s 1-on-1 with Matt Leon podcast. Kieschnick, who joined DelVal in 2001, talked to Leon about her career in equestrian sports, equestrian programming at DelVal from academics to athletics, how she got into equestrian sports as a kid and maintained her passion for the sport to launch her career.
"I have been fortunate to hire some DelVal graduates. I find them to be well educated and, even better - well schooled in the practical aspects of horse care. They are just what I am looking for in an employee."
