M.S. Materials Science and Engineering (Materials Science Option)

The mission of the Materials Science and Engineering M.S. program is to provide graduate education and research opportunities for students and professionals in the theoretical, experimental and analytical foundations of materials science, and in the engineering use, modification and application to the structures and products of the technological age. We expect that, as a student andor graduate of the Materials Science and Engineering M.S. program, you will exhibit the following:Students will excel in the academic study of principles of materials science and engineering, as well as research focuses they choose from a wide range of areas, such as electronic and photonic materials, particulate and nanomaterials, polymer and biomaterials and others.Real-World Experience: Students will gain expertise in basic laboratory equipment and field techniques through on-campus opportunities at NJIT and the university’s distinguished research partnerships.Communication and Collaboration: Students will effectively collaborate on research toward their thesis and may play a supporting role in the form of searching and preparing literature reviews based on research papers that are relevant to the topic of their thesis.

To be considered for a master's program at NJIT, you must have completed a four-year accredited Bachelor's degree, or its equivalent, and demonstrate strong academic achievement in an appropriate discipline. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), Duolingo or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is required for all international applicants not holding a degree from a United States post-secondary institution.
