Plastics Processing Minor
The plastic processing minor would be most suitable for engineering, engineering technology and applied sciences graduates as they will have most of the prerequisites for the minor. It is recommended that students fulfill their general education area VI requirements by taking CHEM 1100 and CHEM 1110 and Proficiency 4b by taking MATH 1220 or MATH 2000 or MATH 1700. The plastic processing minor totals 15 hours.
Students must take 15 credit hours not in the major to satisfy the plastic processing minor requirements.
