To accommodate part-time students, graduate courses are offered in the late afternoon or evenings.Our graduates can be found in leading grape and wine positions around the nation and world, thanks to our applied, hands-on training in classes, our Viticulture and Enology Research Center (VERC), and our Fresno State Winery (the nation's first winery on a college campus and still the largest).
