Hi Kensley,
You can position yourself for a career path that combines strategy, human behavior, and specialized knowledge by matching psychology with the appropriate minor. The fields of talent development, HR, organizational psychology, people operations, leadership coaching, and workplace wellness, all of which place a high importance on an awareness of motivation, behavior, and team dynamics, are accessible if you select business. Equine-assisted therapy, therapeutic riding programs, juvenile behavioral programs, trauma-informed care utilizing animal-assisted approaches, and outdoor mental health settings are just a few of the quickly expanding niches that equine science offers. Both minors complement psychology differently: business links you with corporate and organizational environments, while equine science places you for therapeutic, clinical, and community-based work that helps adolescents and families in unique ways.
The trick is choosing the minor that matches the type of influence you wish to create. Business is a powerful strategic tool if you want to empower individuals in formal, professional environments. If you’re inclined to healing, connection, and experience-based therapies, equine science offers an enormously meaningful path. Either way, your psychology major gives you a strong behavioral foundation; the minor merely helps you shape where and how you apply it.
Best wishes!
