<p>Hey man, sorry this reply is so late. </p>
<p>I have looked into the minor a bit more and recently requested to add it starting in the fall. It is 18 credits (6 classes) and is listed under “Sustainable Biomaterials.” There are advertisements for it all over campus. They appear to be trying to revamp the program and make it less “boring” as you said. </p>
<p>Basically, it deals with all aspects of the packaging process. Anything from environmental efficiency, materials, design, transportation, etc. Seems like a good way to learn more about materials, and cultivate design skills. After talking to professors, it generally makes you more marketable when finding internships and jobs because you have a niche. </p>
<p>Also packaging is the 3rd largest industry in the world.</p>
<p>Something else to think about… I heard today that they are potentially adding a Visual Communication Design minor. Could fit nicely with ID.</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any other questions</p>
