Fermentation, the use of microorganisms to produce desirable compounds, is vital to producing beverages, foods, and pharmaceuticals. A Bachelor of Science in Fermentation Science provides the technical background and practical skills necessary for a career in fermentation-related fields, including beer, wine, or cheese manufacturing.
This is a designated STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) program.
Learn
Graduates of this program will have a strong background in the relevant chemistry and biology involved in fermentation. They will learn to apply that background to practical fermentation in the production of food, beverages, and fine chemicals. They will develop practical laboratory and instrumental skills to analyze fermented products. In addition, electives in business and restaurant management will focus students’ skills on their desired careers.
Opportunities
In addition to taking both lecture and hands-on laboratory courses, Fermentation Science majors participate in either individual mentored research with a faculty member or cooperative experiences with partners in fermentation-related companies. As a result, students apply their knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems and gain experience to make them highly competitive for scientific positions in the food, beverage, chemical synthesis, and pharmaceutical industries.
Career opportunities include the following: QA/QC technician, brewing laboratory technician, wine laboratory technician, analytical chemist, biomedical researcher, brewer lab assistant, sales representative, chemical safety officer, laboratory consultant, brewmaster, winemaker, microbiology lab technician, laboratory consultant, medicinal chemist, quality control technician, research chemist/biologist, cicerone.
