The Viticulture Certificate Program consists of a series of 10 units and three 2-day “Grape Camps” held over a two-year period. All ten units and the Grape Camps must be successfully completed to receive the Professional Certificate in Viticulture.

Each unit is broken up into shorter segments to facilitate a more comfortable on-line learning experience. Each instructor will have different expectations of you with regard to testing, reading materials and interaction. Please prepare yourself for each lecture, as indicated by the instructor.

Grape camps will be held at WSU-Prosser. Students will have an opportunity for hands-on experiential learning to add to the material provided on-line. This will also provide students with a networking opportunity with instructors and their fellow students.

The rigor and quality of the programs is intended for those serious about, and preferably, professionally oriented to viticulture. Course materials will average a minimum of the equivalent of a 300 (junior/senior) level academic course.

Class size is limited to 30 participants to facilitate the student-faculty experience. We do have an extensive waiting list. Please put your name on the waiting list for the 2009 program.
