RIT Merges Print and Graphic Media Degree Into Packaging Science Program

Many printing industry leaders — both past and present — attended the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to earn a bachelor’s degree in printing. Dating back to 1922 and long considered the premier program for the graphic arts industry, it drew trade and high school graduates who often hailed from family-owned printing businesses. In 1981, RIT’s printing program peaked with 775 students, learning business management and hands-on (primarily sheetfed and web offset) production operations skills.

So, it’s no surprise that some of the roughly 4,000 active alumni are disheartened to learn that RIT’s print and graphic media technology curriculum, which has experienced several years of declining enrollment, is being integrated into the university’s packaging science program.
