Materials Science and Engineering

General Requirements

Graduate programs are offered leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy with a major in materials science and engineering. Both the materials science and engineering programs are flexible and interdisciplinary in nature. Students may be admitted from a wide range of disciplines. These include physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, materials engineering, and engineering science programs.

The materials science and engineering concentrations offer specializations to include, but not limited to, ceramics, composites, electronic materials, physical metallurgy, materials processing, welding metallurgy and materials joining, corrosion science and engineering, biomedical materials, nonwovens science and technology, and mechanical and physical behaviors of materials.

Admission

Applicants for admission to the MS and PhD programs in materials science and engineering are expected to have completed a bachelor’s degree in an area of engineering or science with a grade-point-average of at least 3.0 out of 4.0 both overall and in the senior year. In addition, it is required all applicants submit scores from the General Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Applicants whose native language is not English must score at least 213 on the computer-based TOEFL examination, 550 on the written examination, or 80 on the Internet-based Test to be considered for admission to the programs.
