 Many countries that have thoroughbred racing require jockey license applicants to complete courses at a recognized school for jockeys, but the United States does not.In 2006 NARA was formed as part of Bluegrass Community and Technical College, which is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.While the program is the only college level program in the United States for jockeys, there are programs in racetrack management at the University of Louisville and the University of Arizona.
