This multidisciplinary program brings together the disciplines of mathematics, chemistry, physics, and engineering for the development of the independent scholars versed in the fields of polymer, fiber, and textile science. The program is coordinated by the College of Textiles and leads to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Students majoring in the physical sciences, engineering, mathematics, textiles, and having at least a 3.0 grade point average out of 4.0 in their undergraduate major and have a master's degree will normally qualify for admission. The polymer, fiber, and textile sciences are concerned with polymeric materials and fibers produced from them, textile assemblies in one, two, and three-dimensional forms, and the chemistry of dyeing, finishing, and other wet processes. This broad field of study permits a wide range of useful concentrations. The candidate is expected to concentrate in one area and to acquire a reasonable perspective in other relevant areas. Generally, a student specializes in the areas of (1) polymer chemistry and synthesis, (2) fiber and polymer physics and physical chemistry, (3) the production, processing and properties of fibrous materials, or (4) chemistry of dyes, finishes, and their processes. The student's research is usually based within one of these areas or another suitable one.
