What makes this program unique is the emphasis of certain courses on wine industry issues. These include strategic brand management, global wine operations, using social media as a strategic tool in marketing throughout the distribution chain, compliance and government relations, financial statement analysis, talent management, and many more; all complimented by an off-site leadership experience and international business travel experience.
Financing Your EMBA.
The EMBA adds value to both the student and their employer, so many companies already offer tuition assistance programs for their employees. We have also partnered with EMBA students to develop a specific support plan if their companies don't have one in place yet. Contact us to talk about your options.
Graduate students enrolled in at least 4 units per semester can receive up to $20,500 per academic year from the Federal Direct Loan program. Depending on calculated financial need, up to $8,500 of the Direct Loan may be eligible for an interest subsidy while you are in school. Read more about financing your EMBA (pdf).
