Directory of Plastics Education and Training Programs In the U.S. and Canada, 10th Edition

Compiled by:
Plastics Institute of America Inc. and published jointly with The Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc., With distribution through the Society of Plastics Engineers

Directory of Plastics Education and Training Programs Two hundred and five institutions were contacted for inclusion in the 197 page directory. They represent five different categories: universities, four-year colleges, community colleges, vocational schools, and commercial seminars. Scholarship sources are also profiled.

This directory will provide the potential student with what we believe is the most comprehensive listing of plastics educational programs in the U.S. and Canada, including their content and their geographical location. It will also provide industry with what we consider to be the most all inclusive listing of sources for employee recruitment at all levels and of sources for potential research and consulting services by the faculty teaching at these locations.

Example directory listings are as follows:
