I’m currently a junior pursuing a B.A. in Media Arts. I want to work for a brewery, winery, or distillery and decided on Media Arts because I thought it would be good for social media and/or marketing.
I really want to get into the production end, however, and need a science degree in order to get into the master’s program at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland for Brewing and Distilling. I started out in Resource Conservation and have about half of the coursework done but switched because it the courses I took were about forestry and I wasn’t interested in forestry.
Resource Conservation allows you to design your own degree so I could design it towards horticulture but PTRM sounds good too because it teaches you both business and resource management and alcohol seems like a tourism industry. Most of the classes are the same for both majors so I’m about halfway done with both majors.
I also thought that if I didn’t get into Heriot-Watt then I could go to grad school for Horticulture and could be a sustainability officer for a brewery, winery, or distillery. I know chemistry or something would be better but it would take to long to earn a chemistry degree and right now I have a bunch of wasted credits from my Resource Conservation major.
Which would be better, Resource Conservation and design a science degree, or PTRM to learn business, management, and science?
