    About Bachelor of Fermentation Science

    Fermentation Science harnesses microbes and their unique biochemistry to sustainably solve challenges.

    An interdisciplinary field by nature, Fermentation Science lies at the intersection of microbiology, chemistry and engineering. The goal of fermentation science is to discover and implement ways to design and use microbes to add value across diverse industries - from foods to biofuels to pharmaceuticals.

    Students enrolled in the program will master the concepts of diverse fermentations and develop hands-on skills, including designing and engineering microbes, operating fermentation reactors, and harvesting bioproducts. These skills will position graduates for employment in broad industries or to launch their own entrepreneurial opportunities in fermentation.

    Because similar concepts apply across different fermentations, Purdue Fermentation Science students will be trained to design and operate across diverse industries. Graduates will be prepared for industrial positions in biotechnology, fermentation, research, development, marketing; or to pursue graduate studies in biotechnology, bioengineering, and related fields.
