Exciting Partnership Brings Craft Brewing Degree To New Jersey Students

Many kids go off to college and spend a lot of their time drinking and partying.

Often showing up for class totally hungover after a late night out with friends.

But, what if I told you there's a way to mix beer and school together.

Yes!

This is pretty cool.

Instead of spending time at the bar drinking beer, spend time in the classroom learning how to make beer.

Mixing beer and education together.

It's the first in New Jersey.

Where was this when I was in college?!

Let me explain what it's all about.

The Community House of Moorestown, Rowan College at Burlington County and Kings Road Brewing Company are teaming up to open a microbrewery in the basement of the Community House.

They're transforming the old pool.

Now for the educational part, you'll soon be able to receive an associate degree in craft brewing at Rowan College at Burlington County.

As far as the microbrewery, students will work their and gain "first hand experience."

There will even be a taproom where you can sit and enjoy a beer.

Rowan College at Burlington County President Michael Cioce spoke with CBS News Philadelphia. He said classes will include "science, business and marketing."

It's a big industry here in New Jersey with so many amazing breweries around the state.

And that means job opportunities.

You don't have to wait very long to get started on this new associate degree.

Classes will begin in the fall of 2025.
