Unique Academic Programs

• Wine Business - Wine Business at SOU provides students the opportunity to learn many aspects of the wine trade from the history, geography, and environmental requirements to grow grapes, to the processes to make, bottle, and sell wine, to sensory evaluation techniques and communication about wine.
