Sure, not many schools offer a specific packaging engineering program, but there are a few that stand out for their strength in this area.
Michigan State University's School of Packaging is well-renowned for its program, and it also happened to have the first school of packaging in the U.S. MSU offers a bachelor's degree in packaging along with master and doctoral degrees, providing comprehensive study in areas such as package development, material processes, and distribution.
Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) offers a bachelor's degree in Packaging Science. This program prides itself on a mix of science, engineering, and business topics to give well-rounded knowledge in the packaging field.
Clemson University also stands out with its packaging program. It offers a Bachelor of Science in Packaging Science and it's known for having an emphasis on hands-on experiences and solving real-world problems.
Lastly, University of Wisconsin–Stout has a Packaging major that combines business, design, and engineering principles. It also provides co-op and internship opportunities for students.
Remember that it's also important to consider location, cost, and campus culture when deciding on a college, in addition to the strength of a specific program.
