MS in Polymer Chemistry - Batch of 2022

Offered by Pittsburg State University

Pittsburg State - place to learn and earn

Tips: Look for the courses that you are planning to apply. Do a research on internships and part-time job. There are several options for a scholarship from the university. If you are applying for a polymer Chemistry programme then you would have a good chance of assistantship. The faculty is good and will help you achieve your goals.

Master of Science in Technology (Technology Management) - Batch of 2024

Offered by Pittsburg State University

3.3

I won't recommend this university for IT background students.

Tips: Everyone will face cultural differences so one should adapt to those conditions. Before applying to the university, they should know about Graduate Assistant, Teaching Assistant, and Research Assistant positions. This helps a lot because they waive off a major part of the fees. This university also provides scholarships. This university is good for construction, physics, and chemistry courses.
