Master of Science in Materials Science (MS MTSC)
Type:
GraduateDegree:
M.S.Description:
The MS degree in materials science is designed to prepare the student for research and development work in the materials field. The program is multidisciplinary and involves the departments of physics, chemistry and engineering, with engineering as the administering department. The program reflects this multidiscipli¬nary nature by providing a thorough grounding in each of the basic disciplines of the field. Depth in specialized areas is achieved through the research interests of faculty in each of the participat¬ing departments. These faculty members constitute the materials science faculty group, which is responsible for implementing and administering the program.
With an increasing number of technological fields becoming materials-limited in various ways. the program seeks to prepare students to meet the challenges of property improvement and new materials development, with a broad-based curriculum stressing fundamentals.
Total Credit Hours:
45qrt. hrs.Other Requirements:
A bachelor of science in materials science or closely related field (chemistry, engineering, metallurgy, physics) is normally required for admission. Applicants must submit scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) general test. Normally, a GPA of at least 3.0 is required.
Students whose background differs significantly from that ordi¬narily expected of materials science students can be admitted on a provisional basis. They will usually be required to complete preparatory courses that are prerequisites for the materials science core courses described below. Preparatory courses are not consid¬ered part of the 45-quarter-hour requirement for the degree.
