Northwest Michigan’s grape and wine industry just got a new potential workforce thanks to a partnership between Northwestern Michigan College (NMC), Michigan State University (MSU), and the online VESTA program at Missouri State University. Starting this summer, students can work toward a new viticulture certificate offered by MSU, with an option to complete an associate degree from NMC. Students can enroll through the MSU office at NMC’s University Center, and all classes will be taken online or in Traverse City.
