Central has a craft brewing bachelor's degree

What is this.... "Central Washington University" that you speak of?
-
Central tries to cater to everybody offering a set of practical degrees. It seems like we? could also have a dope growing major.
-
In five years, you'll be able to double major in trans studies and Gaylor Swift.
Higher Ed's a fucking joke.

I don't have a problem with beer making studies, but call me old fashioned — go to a community college / trade school for it. I do see a "gender studies".
-
Making beer actually producing something. Getting a degree in 64 Gender Appreciation only adds a future government worker or a DEI drain in a company where every tried to avoid that person for fear of an HR report for saying hello.
-
I'm not opposed to learning beer production. It belongs in a trade school though.
-
If you can research, communicate and solve problems you can go "actually produce something" with most degrees.
I used like 2 classes from my CS degree at UW otherwise all the learning I had to do at my first pile of shit software company wasnt much different than if I had a liberal arts degree doing the same thing.
The problem as I've stated multiple times is that there's too many colleges. And even then, if someone was self taught and they're better than the college grad, they get the money.
I would be fine with my kids doing fermentation science at Oregon State instead AOG's hypothetical trade school.

The hard future is arriving. If we got the federal government out of the student loan gifter program, the market would reset hard.
ST. CLOUD — St. Cloud State University announced cuts Tuesday afternoon. The move comes after the university’s long-term financial woes led to a $14.4 million budget deficit in 2024.
The university said it’s suspending 42 degree programs and 50 minors, alongside eliminating 54 full-time faculty (13%), 42 staff (8%) and four (13%) administrative positions. The College of Education and Learning Design program offerings are being cut by nearly 52% followed by the College of Liberal Arts at nearly 43%. The College of Science and Engineering was impacted the least with a roughly 10% cut. Impacted programs include environmental engineering, economics, criminal justice, gender studies and physical education.

Gen Z is kind of figuring out the game anyways. Going into massive debt for gender studies degrees and working at Starbucks is for losers and they know it. Millennials fell for that shit hook line and sinker.
Atbs Going to school for brewing is legit. I have multiple friends in the industry and the ones with reputable degrees from Oregon State or whoever do get paid more(generally). The real money is in growing a brand and then selling it off but that market is crowded these days.
Ftr Jimmy Carter was the one that actually made it legal for craft beers to operate and sell at small scale. One of the few things he did right and it created a multi billion dollar industry.
-
Sure, but it doesn't belong at a university
-
Viniculture, Viticulture, and brewing science are normal degrees at lots of agriculture and state schools.
They are actual useful degrees with a real industry associated with them.

Cuog actually is good at something - growing grapes
Sodbusters gonna bust sod. -
I know but a bachelor's degree in beer? It sounds like bullshit.
-
What good is a Gender Studies degree other than to indoctrinate students and crate permanent HR red flags and fake victims in the real world? I wouldn’t hire anyone with a degree anything close to it.
The beer degree makes more sense than all of the dozens of DEI courses and degrees.
Automatic trash file the resume.

Could get one of these from the UO. Learn how to
Indigenous, race, and ethnic studiescreate greater social justicebe a parasitic grifter.
Undergraduate degrees: BA or BS
Undergraduate minorAbout the major
Students who study in the indigenous, race, and ethnic studies program will learn how to create greater social justice in our world.
Our department looks at the way that race is tied to many other issues, including gender, class, sexuality, migration, indigeneity, and colonialism. With our students, we investigate and critique examples of white supremacy, both historical and present. We focus not only on race in the United States, but also on migrations and diasporas (such as those that result from the slave trade, settler colonialism, and globalization).
A little more info
- Students receive mentoring and support as they address some of the most important questions of the contemporary era.
- Working together, IRES students are actively engaged in the campus and community.
- IRES majors have access to hundreds of UO alumni working in education, non-profits, government, and business.

$150,000 for a “the world is unfair and I’m a victim” degree.
Unemployable in a real job and companies are starting to reduce the size of DEI departments as they offer nothing but problems for them.
-
How many women's studies programs are even out there? If they don't get enrollment then they're gone. I'm not really even talking about those. I'm talking about history, English, etc. Some of the STEM people that shit on those are the biggest retards themselves and shouldn't really be talking. Those degrees actually are more useful now with prompt engineering, etc.
UW is unique to the PNW in that we just offer fucking everything because we're twice the size of the other NW schools and just can.

The people ta
lking a shit on History and English programs are the DEI adherents who view history and English Lit as examples of white institutional systemic racism. When you view the world through a marxist lens then History and English Lit get pretty simple. Just mouth some class struggle bullsh*t, blame whitey for the World and America's problem and then create a mythical world run by DEI non-white elites in which liberty, freedom and basic Econ 101 principles can be ignored. Back in the day I had to take Sociology 201 as it was a requirement for a business degree. I attended the first class and got the reading list, showed up for the mid-term which actually was delayed a week. Came back in a week, took the mid-term showed up for the final, took that and probably had the high paper for a class of 150 students because I just went with the prof's marxist reading list and I had already had a pretty good understanding of communism from an actual well-taught history class.Like I say, when your world is a leftard world there isn't any functional difference between the dem elite or mello.

Completely agree that the attack on traditional history is gross.

It looks like this thread devolved into a dichotomy between queer science and beer. A university is supposed to facilitate the "liberation of the mind." Your mind itself is not supposed to be the same after 4 years. A trade school just teaches you a particular set of matters of facts, a skill. That's useful, and where beer making belongs. Central is trying to do both.
-
A university is supposed to make you smarter. Seems to do the opposite these days for many.
Youhave people with college degrees that can't read a clock or make change. A McDonald's job would have trashy them more
-
Brewing science belongs at any state or agriculture school where that industry is big. You might have a point at a university unless they are engaging in R&D but at Central? Lulz
-
Universities seem to be doing a pretty bad job of liberating the mind. Lots of hive mind indoctrination going on. Between DEI, climate change, the people's right to free shit paid by others and the promotion of open borders a trade school seems to be holding up just fine. I don't disagree that the liberation of the mind is a noble concept if it means an informed and educated ability to make choices for your betterment that aren't dependent on taking away others freedom and liberty.

That's what is happening, more mechanics and less philosophers
-
Yeah, and that's a good thing. Johnny the average student in high school should go do something other than college. Boomer parents wanted to able to say that their kid was in college so they gave bad advice. And then Johnny goes and fucks around in the dorms and flames out with student debt and a sore asshole.
-
the dumbest thing are the arguments that universities should be a “well rounded educational experience”
Maybe 50 years ago but when it’s now an expensive requirement to get a basic job, you can’t afford to have it be full of bullshit.
It’s just a white collar trade school that costs an arm and a leg and teaches no actual job skills lol
It’s absurd -
imagine taking a student loan out for a 4 year degree in something that could be accomplished with a 2 year paid apprenticeship in whatever town you already live in….
-
You have to take out loans to go to college?
Mods? Devs? Poors?
-
The here are business courses included as a part of the major. These are not new majors. Odd a few of you are so focused on what is basically a business degree with a skill attached.
Cal-Davis has had a Department of Viticulture and Enology for decades.
Imagine paying $150,000 for a degree to learn that white people suck, that if you’re anything other than a straight white male then you’re a victim, that capitalism sucks, that there are infinite genders, and that conservatives are literally Hitler.
The hire one of these creatures and not have it blow up in your face.

if you’re going to get a degree in working at a brewery probably
