Programs leading to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Viticulture & Enology incorporate university requirements, general education requirements, college requirements and major program requirements. The first three govern requirements for scholarship, units, and residency and require classes in English composition, topical breadth and core literacies. Major requirements are divided into three categories: preparatory (usually lower-division classes in basic subjects), depth (upper division classes in areas directly related to the major) and restricted electives (courses in areas more peripherally related to the major). Students may also find time for a limited number of elective classes covering topics outside of their major field of study.
