The obvious advantage is that you will earn both your BS and MS degrees together and make yourself eligible for Master’s level polymer engineering jobs. You will be attending classes with equally committed and motivated peers from applied mathematics in first three years and with excellent polymer engineering graduate students in last two years. If interested, you may also want to join the Ph.D. program in polymer engineering, after finishing this program.
This will prepare you further for an exciting career in research and research administration. The quality of students in this program and the international reputation of the polymer engineering program will attract top level recruiters. You will receive professional and academic guidance from faculty within the Department of Theoretical and Applied Mathematics as well as in the Department of Polymer Engineering.
