• The materials science program offers the master of science degree in materials science and doctor of philosophy degree in materials science and engineering. The program offers research opportunities over a broad range of areas including synthesis and characterization of thin films, fullerenes and nanotubes, molecular templates, self-organizing nanostructures, polymers and polymer nanoparticles, using scanning probe microscopy, physical and chemical vapor deposition methods, micromechanics, molecular beam mass spectrometry, and computational methods.
  • They offer degrees to qualified students interested in interdisciplinary research with an emphasis on the synthesis, characterization and utilization of nanoscale materials.
  •  All MSP students learn about the interplay of structure, processing, characterization, and properties of materials with useful applications.
  • Their seventeen faculty members are active collaborators with research and development groups located around the world, and are experienced in managing research projects with practical results.
  • Graduates of the program work in research, engineering and process development positions in a variety of fields.
  • A student will meet the Graduate School?s requirements for the master?s degree (30 credits) and will complete either a thesis option and a project option.
