Faculty-Led Equine Study Abroad in Panama

The equine industry is an international industry, both in how and with whom business is conducted. In order to best educate those who will be involved in this industry, Midway University has partnered with Universidad de Panama Veterinary School and Haras Cerro Punta, a thoroughbred horse breeding farm, to provide our equine students the opportunity to experience the farm operations and excellent breeding, foaling, and facility management practices in Panama.

The semester-long program during spring consists of a one-week pre-departure orientation, 12 weeks abroad in a structured intensive curricular and co-curricular program, and a two-week re-entry course. The time of year has been selected so the students experience the breeding and foaling activities that coincide in the northern and southern hemispheres.
