Polymer chemistry refers to synthesis and characterization of organic macromolecules. Examples of the breadth and impact of polymer chemistry are all around us from the bottles that hold our water to the paint on the International Space Station. There are multiple compelling reasons for the creation of this new major, which include 1) interest from students to obtain discipline specific training at the undergraduate level, 2) the growing recognition from the field that polymer is a vital component to chemical education, and 3) an increasing number of job opportunities in polymer chemistry. We firmly believe that creation of the Polymer Chemistry major will meet employer and student demand as well as solidify Virginia Tech as the destination for polymer science.

Entry Requirements
International Baccalaureate Education System
Virginia Tech encourages prospective students to seek the most challenging high school courses possible. Students taking International Baccalaureate (IB) courses will be considered competitive for freshman admissions. An applicant's entire academic profile will be reviewed holistically.
To receive credit for International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations, an official transcript of examination results should be forward to the Registrar's Office directly from the issuing institution. To determine how many credits you may receive please visit the Registrar's website.
All first-year and transfer students accepting admission to Virginia Tech and seeking college credits for IB examinations must arrange for an official transcript of examination results to be sent to Virginia Tech by the IB Offices once available.

For students entering in 2023, Virginia Tech will exclusively use the Common App for first-year and transfer applications. While we remain a Coalition member, we have paused the Coalition application for one cycle to provide ample time to adjust to the new application platform that Coalition will be using.
