What you will study

The programme requires 30 semester credit hours. The student’s program of coursework is selected with the advice of the graduate advisor and must be approved by the Graduate Studies Committee. All students must complete deficiency, core, and advanced-level courses. (Individual deficiency courses may be waived if the student has equivalent credit on entering the program.) The specific course requirements vary for each concentration.

Application information

Entry requirements

Graduate admission (applies to the programme): Students with a bachelor’s degree in engineering or in one of the physical sciences may be admitted to the materials science and engineering degree program upon the recommendation of the Graduate Studies Committee. Students who do not have a background that the committee considers satisfactory for the study of advanced materials science and engineering will be required to take preparatory coursework, some of which may be at the undergraduate level. Completion of some coursework may be required before the student begins the work for the graduate degree.

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 are summer and fall; each graduate program sets its own application deadline.

Graduate application fees: $65 for U.S. graduate applicants and $90 for international graduate applicants; MBA (and dual programs with MBA) $200; MPA $125. Each graduate program sets its own application deadline. Fee waivers are available only to U.S. citizens/permanent residents applying for a first graduate degree (not MBA or MPA).
