The Macromolecular Science and Engineering (MACR) graduate programs are interdepartmental, intercollegiate M.S. and Ph.D. degrees focused on polymer science and engineering. The programs are interdisciplinary in nature with faculty members from the Colleges of Science, Engineering, and Natural Resources. Students work under the direction of faculty in the departments of Chemistry, Physics, Sustainable Biomaterials, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Science and Mechanics, and Civil Engineering.

Students working under the direction of these faculty may pursue the departmental curricula or the Macromolecular Science and Engineering curriculum to earn degrees in the respective programs. The MACR curriculum is designed to offer the flexibility needed to tailor interdisciplinary programs of study to emerging areas related to polymeric materials.
