    • Creating a Wine Brand and Wine Company
    • Hospitality, Tasting Room and Wine Club Management
    • The Legal, Compliance and Human Resources Challenges Facing the Wine Industry
    • Wine Sustainability
  • International capstone project

    Gain real skills by doing real experience. Instead of a typical written thesis, the M.S. program ends with a capstone that applies your knowledge and expertise on a global scale. Consult directly with an international organization to solve one of its real-world problems, and then spend seven days at the international location to present your recommendations. Airfare is included in the cost of the program.
