B.S. — Fiber Track
In this program, students enjoy further flexibility by tailoring their degree to a specific area of interest using six hours of
approved elective hours. With these approved hours, students may work towards one of the numerous certificates offered by other
schools on campus. Alternatively, they can take additional courses within the School of Polymer, Textile & Fiber Engineering to expand
their expertise in polymer, fiber, and fabricated product specialty-interest areas such as fiber conversion processes, composites,
environmental issues, plant operations, and color science.
