Polymers are in practically everything—which means a degree from our Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering can take you practically anywhere. We offer polymer-specific degrees from a bachelor’s up to a PhD, and even a specialized master’s degree track with a focus on fire science. As one of the country’s few stand-alone polymer departments, we offer a unique deep dive into a thriving field that will prepare you to be a leader in any number of industries.

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree program with a major in Polymer Science and Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.

The department has an academic partnership with the Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (CAPES) that administers a joint PhD program between Case Western Reserve and Brazilian Partner Universities.
