Our 100% online Bourbon Studies minor is a great addition to several of Midway’s undergraduate majors, such as business administration or marketing communications. The focus of this minor is to better understand the culture and business of the Bourbon industry. Courses are designed to give students the history of the industry, learn and talk about the Bourbon tasting experience, understand the role of Bourbon in Kentucky’s tourism and hospitality industry, and be prepared to gain entry level employment in the Bourbon industry or the supporting tourism industry.
Add a Bourbon Studies minor to your degree and learn the skills you need to become a part of this important industry.
The Bourbon Studies program supports the full scope of the bourbon industry. Skills and knowledge gained from the curriculum would be beneficial to those seeking employment in the Bourbon industry, tour and visitor center operations, historic and adventure attractions, state parks, and the hotel industry.
