Department of Materials Science & Engineering

Masters in MATERIALS SCIENCE

& ENGINEERING (MMSE)

The field of Materials Science and Engineering

encompasses the broad disciplines of physics, chemistry,

biology, and engineering by providing a platform

for multidisciplinary activities across these fields. It

and “hard materials” consisting of electronic materials,

inorganic and organic thin films, surfaces and

interfaces, nanoscale materials, and composites. There

are ongoing fundamental studies of self-assembly in

block copolymers, crystallization, morphology, and the

synthesis and characterization of advanced polymeric

materials. The area of biomaterials brings together

research in materials chemistry and biology with

an emphasis on tissue engineering, responsive gels,

biosensors, and drug delivery.

admission would minimally have taken courses to the

following levels: multivariable calculus, physics, and

chemistry. In addition, courses in materials science,

and organic chemistry are considered very useful.

Admission requirements are normally (1) completion of

a bachelor’s degree with a GPA of at least 3.2, (2) three

excellent letters of recommendation from faculty or

scholars, and (3) TOEFL score of 79 or higher. GRE is not
