Higher Education

The Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.) Higher Education Membership positions colleges and universities that incorporate PATH Intl. instructor training certification within their curricula as some of the best resources for the student population.

Three levels of membership are available designed to address the current needs, abilities and desire of the higher education member to offer coursework suitable for PATH Intl. instructor training and certification.  For more information go to the Higher Ed Membership Details page.

As the industry looks to the future, these professionals who are academically trained in equine-assisted activities and therapies (EAAT) have the potential to be outstanding leaders in innovation, better practices and cutting-edge research within all of the EAAT disciplines. To meet the growing demand for such curricula from students, PATH Intl. is proud to support colleges and universities in making this career path available to interested college and university students.
