Entry requirements

Prerequisites to Degree Program: Applicants to the program must satisfy the requirements of the Graduate School as described in this catalog and have the approval of the Graduate Studies Committee of the Materials Science and Engineering program. Candidates have completed an ABET-accredited or equivalent Bachelor of Science degree in engineering (Washington Accord) and candidates’ academic backgrounds will be evaluated by the Graduate Studies Committee for suitability to the graduate program. To be admitted to graduate study in Materials Engineering without deficiency, candidates are required to have completed a math course sequence through differential equations and an introduction to quantum mechanics through courses such as PHYS 36003 Introduction to Modern Physics , PHYS 36103 Modern Physics , or CHEM 35004 Physical Chemistry I . Other undergraduate deficiencies may be identified dur

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Graduate entry terms: Fall, Spring and Summer sessions.

Graduate School application deadlines: August 1 for fall, December 1 for spring, April 15 for summer sessions; some departments set earlier deadlines. The application fee is $60 for new applicants; $30 for returning UA graduate students.
