When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Discover how fermentation is transforming industries and driving a sustainable future. This course begins by exploring the evolution of fermentation—from ancient food traditions to modern precision techniques—and why it matters today. You’ll dive into the science behind fermentation, including microbes, synthetic biology, and feedstocks, before examining the innovative products shaping global markets in food, beauty, and industrial materials. Finally, you’ll tackle one of the biggest challenges: scaling fermentation from lab to commercial production.

This course is part of the College of ACES suite of online programs and is supported by the Integrated Bioprocessing Research Lab (IBRL), a pilot plant facility focused on bioprocessing technologies located at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. The IBRL was built with the needs of industry projects and customers in mind, supporting over 1,000 scale-up projects for our clients since opening in 2018.
