UA’s polymer college offers one-of-a-kind program in the U.S.
The University of Akron has announced the launch of a new professional master’s degree that uniquely blends coursework across polymer science and engineering with classes in business and law. Graduates of this one-of-a-kind program will possess the skills needed for careers in polymer-related industries.
UA’s new Master of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering program “will provide the type of graduates that industry tells us are needed beyond the research lab — professionals with the skills to be team leaders, managers and supervisors who make technology-mindful decisions,” says Dr. Eric Amis, dean of the College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering.
