Introduction

Excel in a Growing Fermentation Field with a Bachelor's Degree in Fermentation Science

A bachelor of arts degree, with a built-in minor in Business, in fermentation science from Saint Francis University equips students for a future in this growing global industry. Being one of only a handful of fermentation-focused degree programs on the East Coast, our program includes an immersion semester in France designed to build upon the fundamental skills acquired in the classroom. Students further hone their skills with a required internship with our preferred partners. Our students graduate with a keen understanding of the science behind fermentation and the business acumen to support this growing industry.

  • Immersion semester in France focused on the French wine and cheese culture
  • One of only a few fermentation science bachelor-level programs on the East Coast
  • Applied learning experiences incorporated through local fermentation partners

The SFU Learning Experience

Our students acquire the fundamental science background and laboratory skills, coupled with several hands-on learning opportunities. Placing their earned knowledge to work in several internship opportunities helps graduates meet the demands of any food industry, not just fermentation.

The required immersion program in France is a signature element of the Fermentation Science program that intimately explores the many facets of international wine and cheese-making, bringing coursework to life!

The Chemical Breakdown of Fermentation Science

Using the Master Brewers Association of America (MBAA) and American Society of Brewing Chemists (ASBC) as a guide, the University has carefully blended coursework and hands-on learning opportunities to maximize readiness for the growing industry.

  • Chemistry Core: All chemistry students at Saint Francis are taught using the highly-regarded American Chemical Society standards. The fundamentals of our chemistry offerings focus on the building blocks of organic chemistry, quantitative analysis, and physical inorganic chemistry. Fermentation students will further their knowledge with courses in facilities, biofuels, and fermentation chemistry.
  • Hands-on Learning: Our majors thrive on experiential learning. This likely will occur with our myriad of regional partners (Levity Brewing, Woody Lodge Winery, Clover Creek Creamery, and more!) who are positioned to provide real-world opportunities in the fermentation industry.
  • Internships: Apply your knowledge and skills through internship opportunities in various professional settings, including Levity Brewing and Woody Lodge Winery
  • Immersion Experience: A fall international experience in Ambialet, France ensures that students can participate in the harvest of grapes all the way through the fermentation process. Site visits at local creameries, such as From D'Aqui, will aid students in observing the cheese-making process in detail. Studying fermentation in France is a distinctive offering that builds an understanding of the need for high-quality products in a global economy since wine and cheese serve as integral components of European culture.
