Academic qualifications
Graduate degrees (M.M.S.E. and Ph.D.) in Materials Science and Engineering are offered by the interdisciplinary Department of Materials Science and Engineering of the College of Engineering.
Academic Requirements for Advanced Degrees in Materials Science & Engineering
A student entering the Materials Science and Engineering Graduate Program normally possesses a bachelor's (or higher) degree in a physical science or engineering discipline. A successful candidate for admission would minimally have taken courses to the following levels: mathematics, through partial differential equations: physics, including mechanics, heat, electricity, magnetism and introductory modern physics: chemistry, through physical chemistry; and introduction to materials science. In addition, courses in thermodynamics, field concepts, phase transformations,biology, biochemistry, and structure and mechanical properties of materials are considered very useful.
Admission requirements are normally (1) completion of a bachelor's program with a GPI of at least 3.2, (2) excellent letters of recommendation from faculty or scholars, and (3) a GRE total score (verbal plus quantitative) of at least 1150. One of the above norms may be waived in exceptional cases. Admission decisions are made by the Materials Science and Engineering Faculty on the advice of its Chairperson and/or Graduate student Recruitment Coordinator.
Stipend and tuition support is awarded to meritorious students. The authorization of such support resides with the Chairperson of the Department.
