Polymer Certificate Program

The Polymer Specialty Certificate program is designed to provide a strong interdisciplinary educational program for undergraduate engineering and suitably prepared science students interested in pursuing a polymer career. The certificate will also reduce training time required to turn Texas A&M students into productive members of the industrial workforce in Texas. This program will be the first of its kind offered in the State of Texas. No schools in the State of Texas offer a formal polymer curriculum, despite the significant role the polymer industry plays in the state's economy.

The Polymer Specialty Certificate Program consists of (4) three-hour courses for a total of 12 credit hours. The required courses are CHEN 451, MEEN 458 , and CHEM 466. In addition, the remaining six hours are to be selected from a list of approved courses of which three hours can be substituted with an approved individual research experience.
