What are the employment opportunities in Macromolecular Studies?
Outstanding. A major objective of NSF’s IGERT program is to train students in areas where industry, government and academic institutions are experiencing a shortfall. The approval of our proposal is itself proof that Macromolecular Studies is a hot area. Our graduates may work in industries ranging from pharmaceutics to petrochemicals, government laboratories devoted to commerce, health or energy, small teaching colleges and major research universities. An important benefit of the CMC program is that students have opportunities to sample these locations during their training. This makes it easier to decide which type of environment is right for you. CMC-IGERT has contacts with the legal and business communities and entrepreneurship certificate programs at LSU. Students aspiring to start their own company, or work for a dot-com upstart, can prepare.
