Elastomeric Materials Certificate

The Department of Plastics Engineering at UML has a long history as a leader in the  area of Plastics Engineering Education. Today, elastomeric materials, including thermoplastic elastomers and thermosetting rubbers, are being used extensively in new products.  As a result, there is a need for graduate education in this specialized area of study.  The Department of Plastics Engineering now offers a stand alone, four course Graduate Certificate in Elastomeric Materials.

This certificate program is designed for students who have attained a Bachelor’s degree and want more elastomeric materials background, but are not ready to commit to completion of a Master’s degree.  Admission to the program is open to candidates with a B.S. in Engineering or a related field. There is no application fee and the graduate record exam (GRE) is not required for admission.  Courses previously used for another Plastics Certificate may not be used for a second Plastics Certificate.  However, certificate courses may be applied to appropriate graduate degrees if students want to continue their education.  The Plastics Engineering Department makes every attempt to offer many of these courses during the evening so that students having full time jobs can complete the certificate program. Graduates who have already completed these course requirements can receive a retroactive certificate. 

To apply for this certificate program, go to UML Graduate Admissions.
