Ph.D. Program Requirements
The core courses designated as depth courses are:
EMAC 401 Polymer Synthesis
EMAC 402 Polymer Physical Chemistry
EMAC 403 Polymer Physics
EMAC 404 Polymer Engineering
Students are required to take all four depth courses (12 credits),
but on the approval of the instructor, can be excused from one or more of the courses if the relevant course content is not satisfied by a course taken in prior undergraduate or graduate degrees. However, the excused credits must be fulfilled by taking additional breadth courses. NOTE: While EMAC 401 and 402, and EMAC 403 and 404 are offered at the same time in the Fall and Spring semesters, respectively, students can still sign up for both courses, since one is offered in the first half and the other in the second half of the semester.
Two courses in basic science and/or engineering
are required. These courses can be taken in
other Departments of the School of Engineering, or in the Departments of Mathematics, Biology, Biochemistry,
Chemistry, or Physics as approved by the adviser.
As part of the course requirements,
all students are required to
register for EMAC 677 (the Friday
departmental seminars) which will be graded with either
“Pass” or “No Pass.”
Students who have taken EMAC 370 and 376 as
undergraduates can use these courses to fulfill one or more of the depth requirements in the Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering
for the M.S. and Ph.D. degree. However, the credits for
this course cannot be applied towards the course credit
requirements for the graduate degree. Exceptions are
possible for the combined B.S./M.S. program.
Engineering School Requirements
Depths: The foundation courses are deemed to satisfy the
depth requirements (12 credits).
Breadth: Two courses in basic science and/or other departments in the School of Engineering (for a total of six credits). The remaining breadth requirements (18 credits) are satisfied by course modules taken in Macromolecular Science and Engineering.
