Ringkasan program

The Department of Polymer Engineering administers a graduate program in which students, with primarily engineering backgrounds, are guided through a course of study and research under the supervision of a faculty member. Students may be admitted directly to the Ph.D. program upon screening of their qualifications and recommendation by the department chair and dean. The Master of Science degree is awarded to a student after the completion of a prescribed program of course studies, basic engineering examination, and a research project that leads to the preparation of a written thesis describing the research in a scholarly manner. A student and his/her advisor can plan any additional courses necessary to solve the thesis research project and/or that allow for the academic and professional growth of the student. Currently, to achieve the M.S. in Polymer Engineering, a student must successfully complete: 30 credits in polymer engineering, including: 12 credits of polymer engineering core courses, 6 credits of polymer engineering 600-level electives, 6 credits of technical electives, 6 or more credits of research, A Basic Engineering exam OR course 9841:650, Introduction to Polymer Engineering, A written thesis, An oral defense of the thesis.

Persyaratan masuk bagi mahasiswa internasional

Students with undergraduate or graduate degrees in engineering, materials science, chemistry, or physics with outstanding grade point averages are encouraged to apply for admission in programs leading to M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Polymer Engineering. Requirements for admission into the Department of Polymer Engineering are as follows: A cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of: 2.75 or higher overall on a 4.00 scale, or 3.00 or higher on a 4.00 scale for work completed in the last two years. Students coming from foreign universities not offering letter grades must receive a "First Class" grade or equivalent. Students accepted for admission into M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Polymer Engineering typically have GPA's well above 3.00 on a 4.00 scale. Reporting of Graduate Record Examination (GRE) general test scores are mandatory and no application will be processed without GRE scores. The school code for The University of Akron is 1829. Three letters of professional recommendation are required. The letters must reference that the applicant has a strong potential to excel in course work and carry out independent scientific research. These may be sent either through the "Apply Yourself " system or through regular mail by the referees furnished on their official letterhead. Letters of recommendation without signatures or which are not on legible, official letterheads will be disregarded and may delay the application being reviewed. International students must submit official Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) scores with a minimum total of either: 550 (pbt), 213 (cbt), 79 iBT or 6.5 for IELTS.
