Certificate of Specialized Study in Brewing Science

Program of Study

Brewers and those who work in the science of brewing need more substantial training in the underlying principles of malting, mashing, boiling, fermenting, and aging that determine the ultimate flavors of beers and brewed beverages. The Brewing Science Certificate provides this more advanced training to allow graduates to work confidently in the brewing and quality control areas of craft breweries. This certificate is more rigorous than the EngiBeering™ Certificate, with higher-level science work that requires significant dedication to master.
