Master of Engineering (Polymer Engineering and Science)

ADMISSION AND DEGREE REQUIREMENTS • APPROVED COURSES • MORE INFORMATION

	The Master of Engineering in Polymer Engineering and Sciences is offered by the Polymer Center and the Rheology Research Center. The degree is ideal for students wishing to complete a bachelor of science plus master's degree in a grand total of 5 years. It is also ideal for practicing engineers and scientists on a short sabbatical leave from their positions in industry. Foreign exchange students will also be interested in exploring this new degree opportunity.
ADMISSION AND DEGREE REQUIREMENTS	Since the degree program is administered by Mechanical Engineering, the candidate must first be admitted to graduate studies through the Mechanical Engineering Department. Applicants should clearly indicate "Master of Engineering — Polymer Engineering and Science" on their statement of "Reasons for Graduate Study" submitted in conjunction with the instructions for Section 17 of the Application for Admission to Graduate School. The correct Major Code is G643. Twenty-four (24) credits of Approved Polymer Engineering and Science courses are required beyond the B.S. degree. At least eighteen (18) credits must be Formal Lecture or Laboratory Courses. At least six (6) credits must be Formal Lecture or Laboratory Courses numbered 600 or higher. At least three (3) credits must be Formal Lecture or Laboratory Courses numbered 700 or higher. No more than six (6) credits of Independent Study and no more than two (2) credits of Seminar are allowed. No transfer credits are allowed.
