The MS Materials Science degree is appropriate for students who have earned bachelor’s degrees in either chemistry, physics, materials science or related fields. Other STEM degree recipients may be accepted with appropriate additional coursework. There are two tracks for this MS Degree with a common core of courses: a thesis option, appropriate for students interested in continuing their scientific education, and an Entrepreneurial option, appropriate for students wanting to combine materials science with business.The B.S. in Chemistry (Chemistry concentration)  M.S. in Materials Science (Interdisciplinary Materials Investigation concentration) provides an accelerated pathway to the completion of the graduate degree by allowing undergraduate students to take 11 units of graduate level coursework while in undergraduate status. These graduate level units will double count toward both the undergraduate and graduate degree requirements.
