MS in Packging Science @ Rochester Institute of Technology

bonjunior

The Packaging Science program offers a nationally and internationally recognized Masters Degree program in two formats: a traditional, full-time program and an accelerated Executive Leader option (see Executive Leader Masters link). The full-time graduate program allows students from diverse backgrounds to learn and apply knowledge through a cutting edge curriculum. The classes are discussion and project based, and provide students the opportunity to learn how to make valuable contributions as future professionals in the packaging community.

TYPICAL COURSE SEQUENCE

The curriculum is composed of three components: packaging core courses, research, and elective credit. The MS degree program requires completion of 48 credits of graduate-level course work (20 credits packaging core courses, 20-24 credits of electives and 8 thesis credits or 4 project credits), as follows:

Packaging core course work
Completion of a 20 core* credits in graduate-level packaging courses, including:

0607-701, Research Methods*
0607-721 Packaging Administration
0607-730 Packaging and the Environment*
0607-731 Advanced Packaging Economics

RESEARCH

Students in the master’s program will be required to prepare and defend an 8-credit Graduate Thesis (0607-890) or 4-credit project completed under the supervision of their adviser. The type of research done and the area of study will be agreed upon by the student and the adviser before the student enrolls for graduate thesis or project credits.

Students may also elect to take up to eight credits of Independent Study (0607-798), but this may NOT be used as credit toward the 20 credits of packaging core course work.

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS0607-701 Research Methods In Packaging

Discussion of procedures, methods and requirements for carrying out the research project. Students pursue advanced study and research in the following areas: distribution packaging, package systems development, product and/or package damage in the physical distribution environment, materials, quality preservation, production and mechanical properties of packaging materials and systems. Credit 4

0607-721 Packaging Administration
