Short Courses

In 1890 the first dairy foods short course in the United States was established at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The Center for Dairy Research and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Food Science have continued that leadership role in outreach education, training dairy industry employees from around the globe in dairy product manufacturing, food safety, cheese grading, beverages, dairy ingredient applications, various cheese-related topics, and membrane processing.
