We created our first website, Majoring in Wine, because there was a need for a trusted, comprehensive and objective location for people looking to expand their wine-related education. We included resources for scholarships, jobs and internships. The response was so positive, we added websites for other programs in need of the same: Majoring in Beer and Majoring in Gaming.
Our focus is on niche and emerging industries that aren’t already well-documented. Let us know if there’s an area you’d like us to feature on our next website! Cheers!
