Bachelor of Science - Packaging (Co-op)

Program Description

Packaging is a dynamic, multibillion-dollar industry in need of well-educated people. The projected demand for packaging professionals significantly exceeds the number of future graduates. This specialized staff has developed a curriculum to prepare graduates to work with both traditional and emerging materials, manufacturing processes and technologies.

UW-Stout is one of only a few schools in the United States (and the only school in the UW System) that offer a B.S. degree in Packaging. The program combines general education with technical and professional studies. Students will have an opportunity to apply theory to real problems. Through laboratory and co-op work experiences, students will apply the principles of science, mathematics and communications skills.

This program includes a highly successful cooperative education program and the Stout Technology Transfer Institute, a nationally recognized center that assists industry in solving problems. As students progress toward graduation, both will provide opportunities for them to gain on-the-job experiences while still enrolled at the university.
