Dr. Andrew Hurley writes in a feature of BoxScore by AICC.

Dr. Hurley states:

"Over a decade of working in the packaging industry and in the packaging academic space, I began to see the need for more accessible packaging education options. There are a myriad of reasons why the traditional higher education path isn’t a good fit for everyone, so I set out to build a brand-new curriculum in an exciting new way.

After logging seven years of hard work, conducting 400 professional interviews, and hiring a full-time staff of 12 creatives and instructional designers, the Certificate of Packaging Science was created and licensed through the Research Foundation at Clemson University. The result is a highly interactive, modern, enjoyable, 100 percent online program to give professionals the tools they need to be successful in their packaging career, whether they’re just starting or experienced and need a quick refresher. A portion of tuition goes back to Clemson to support their continuing efforts to raise the tides of packaging for everyone. Heck, the program is even licensed by the state of South Carolina’s Commission on Higher Education."
