Forest Biomaterials – Paper Science & Engineering
Paper manufacturing is essential infrastructure and a major contributor to the U.S. economy. It protects food and medicine, supports hygiene and disease prevention, enables commerce and transportation, provides building and housing materials, and supplies thousands of products Americans depend on every day.
With only about 7% of plastic waste recycled, Paper Science and Engineering students are helping develop recyclable, compostable, and renewable alternatives to single-use plastics. The industry is rapidly expanding beyond traditional paper into sustainable packaging, nanocellulose, biofuels, advanced filtration, renewable chemicals, and other high-performance biomaterials.
Students gain unparalleled hands-on experience designing, building, operating, and controlling industrial processes. This highly versatile degree opens doors to careers in manufacturing, engineering, process control, information technology, pharmaceuticals, energy, chemicals, consumer products, biotechnology, and sustainability. Corporate partners consistently recognize NC State PSE graduates as highly sought-after engineers who are prepared to contribute from their first day on the job.
Students also benefit from internships and co-ops beginning as early as their first year, generous scholarships, competitive salaries, excellent career outcomes, and the option to add a Chemical Engineering degree with just one additional semester.
