Polymer Science and Engineering

UMass Amherst

The field of polymers is highly dynamic and interdisciplinary, and our Ph.D. program in Polymer Science and Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst naturally reflects that perspective. The program provides both a broad-based and fundamental introduction to all the major polymer subfields as well as individualized courses of study. Flexibility in the curriculum, particularly in the second and subsequent semesters, allows students to undertake basic coursework in related disciplines (chemistry, biochemistry, physics, or engineering) and/or more specialized coursework in polymers.
