Admissions Standards/Procedures

  • The materials science and engineering program is flexible and interdisciplinary in nature. Students may be admitted from a wide range of disciplines. These include physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, materials engineering, nuclear engineering and engineering science programs.
  • Applicants for admission to the PhD program in materials science and engineering are expected to have completed a bachelor’s degree in an area of engineering or science with a grade-point-average of at least 2.7 out of 4.00 (or 3.0 during the senior year of undergraduate study).
  • All applicants must submit scores from the general Graduate Record Examination (GRE).
  • Applicants whose native language is not English must have a minimum TOEFL score of 550 on the written exam or 80 on the Internet-based Test to be considered for admission to the programs.
  • After one year in residence and with the approval of the faculty, a student may proceed directly to the doctoral program without completion of a master’s degree.

Required Courses

  • For students proceeding directly to the PhD from baccalaureate degree,
    • A minimum 36 graduate course credit hours
      • At least 6 credit hours of 600-level MSE courses
      • Completion of MSE 511, MSE 512, MSE 513, and MSE 514
      • Up to 6 credit hours of MSE 503, Graduate Seminar in Materials Science and Engineering, may be counted toward the graduate course work
      • A minimum of 24 of the graduate course credit hours must be in MSE courses
    • MSE 600 (24 credit hours minimum)
  • For students having a thesis-based master’s degree in materials science and engineering or a related fieldas approved by the PhD committee, a minimum of 48 graduate credit hours is required and must include:
    • 12 credit hours of graduate course work where the combined thesis and PhD graduate course work must satisfy the following requirements:
      • at least 6 credit hours of 600-level courses in the department;
      • completion of MSE 511, MSE 512, MSE 513, and MSE 514;
      • up to 6 credit hours of MSE 503 may be counted toward the graduate course work;
      • a minimum of 24 of the graduate course credit hours must be in MSE courses.
    • MSE 600 (a minimum of 24 credit hours)
    • The MSE 500 credit hours earned in the thesis masters do not count towards the 72 credit hour PhD requirement.
