Master of Science graduates are specialists with strong analytic and technical skills. They too, have a broad background in packaging but, with the addition of graduate level research, have developed an expertise and concentration in a specific area of packaging. They are trained scientists with research and often teaching experience.

The Ph.D. graduate has additional depth of knowledge and experience in independent research.
Graduate-level starting salaries are approximately 10 to 15 percent higher than undergraduate salaries.
