Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering

The CEMS Department offers two types of master's degrees: the M.S.Mat.S.E. (Plan A or C) and the M.Mat.S.E. degree, also known as the professional master's. The M.S.Mat.S.E. Plan A degree is a thesis-based master's and is generally reserved only for current graduate students who choose not to seek a PhD. Working professionals who are interested in obtaining a master's degree part time should follow the requirements for the M.Mat.S.E. degree, which requires a design project, or the M.S.Mat.S.E. Plan C, which is coursework only. Graduate courses offered by CEMS cover core areas of materials science and engineering (structure and symmetry of materials, thermodynamics and kinetics, electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of materials, and mechanical properties of materials). In addition, several specialized topics are offered, including rheology, coating process fundamentals, process control, finite element methods of computer-aided analysis, ceramics, polymers, materials design and performance, materials processing, corrosion, contact and fracture properties of materials, electron microscopy, thin films and interfaces, composites, electrochemical engineering, solid state reaction kinetics, electronic structure of materials, organic semiconductors, electronic ceramics, dislocations and interfaces, epitaxial thin film growth, and the science of porous media.

Applicants must submit three letters of recommendation from persons familiar with their scholarship and research potential, a complete set of official transcripts, and a clearly written statement summarizing research/work experience and motivation for graduate work.
