Academics
The program leading to the M.S. degree
in materials science and engineering provides intensive preparation
for professional practice in modern materials science by those
engineers who wish to continue their education. Courses are offered
at a time and location convenient for the student who is employed
on a full-time basis.
The objective of the doctoral program
in materials science and engineering is to prepare individuals
to perform original, cutting
edge research in the broad areas of materials science, including
areas such as nano-structured materials, electronic, optical
and magnetic materials, bio-mimetic materials, polymeric materials,
MEMS materials and systems, organic electronics, and advanced
processing
of modern materials.

Admission Requirements
A student
lacking undergraduate prerequisites for graduate courses in Materials
Science and Engineering must complete these prerequisites
or receive approval from the graduate advisor and the course
instructor.
A diagnostic exam may be required.
Specific admission requirements follow.
The student entering the MSE program should meet the following
guidelines:
- Student has met standards equivalent
to those currently required for admission to the Ph.D.
or Master’s degree
programs in Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or
Biology.
- a grade-point average in graduate-level course work
of 3.5 or better on a 4-point scale
- GRE scores of at least 500, 700 and 600 for the verbal,
quantitative and analytical components, respectively, or 1800
for the
total score.
Students who fulfill some of the above requirements, if admitted
conditionally, will be required to take graduate level courses
as needed to make up any deficiencies.
