Overview
The Polymer Science & Engineering (PSE) program is an interdisciplinary graduate program with faculty from various Departments such as Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics, and Physics. The Polymer Science and Engineering Graduate Program at Lehigh University is one of a handful of graduate programs in the U.S. that specializes in polymers.
Admission
Admission requirements include: a B.S. degree in chemistry, physics, or any branch of engineering and an undergraduate GPA of 2.80 or higher.

The masters program is comprised of 30 credits of graduate work. These 30 credits can be completed by either coursework only or coursework with a thesis project. The thesis project counts for up to 6 of the required 30 credits. There are two core courses: MAT 392 Introduction to Polymers and MAT 393 Physical Polymer Science that all PSE students must take. A 400-level thermodynamics course is also required.
Additional requirements include:
- at least 15 credits of polymer related courses at the 400-level
-
not more than 12 credits of polymer related courses at the 300-level (includes MAT 392 and MAT 393
