Materials and materials limitations pervade all of the engineering and high technology
fields that are an integral part of our society. Graduate programs in this department
focus on understanding the structure, structure modification and properties of
materials
and the development of new or improved materials and advanced processing methods
that are
critical links between the design and the realization of new systems.
Admission Requirements: In addition to the general admission requirements
as set by the Graduate School, the department requires submission of GRE scores. Non-native
English speakers also require a minimum TOEFL score
as established by the Graduate School.
Master's Degrees Requirements: The minimum requirements for the Master of
Materials Science and Engineering degree are 33 credit hours and 30 credit hours
for the Option B. The M.S. degree has the
minimum requirement of 30 credit hours including six credit hours for research.
Doctoral Degree Requirements: The minimum requirements for the doctoral
degree are 72 credit hours including credit hours for research.
Student Financial Support: Students in the graduate
program normally receive financial support in the form of research or teaching assistantships
or fellowships.
Other Relevant Information: The department reflects the interdisciplinary
nature of the field of Materials Science and Engineering. A substantial number of current
graduate students majored in fields other than but related to materials, and the
department has a significant number of associated graduate faculty from other departments
supervising thesis and dissertation research.
