Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering

The graduate programs in the department are designed to provide advanced study in the fields of materials properties, materials structures, and materials processing. Emphasis is placed on metals, alloys, electronic and optical materials, ceramics, composites and biomaterials. Courses and research are provided in extraction, thermodynamics, kinetics, transport, microstructural characterization, physical properties, processing, and application.In an era of big data and increasing security threats, now is the time to take advantage of all MSE at the University of Arizona has to offer. Engage in materials science and engineering across many disciplines – from phonons for quantum computing to ceramics for outer space.Choose a program with a track record of excellence in research and academics: industry-relevant programs; world-class faculty; an entrepreneurial environment; small classes and individualized attention; a team approach to problem solving; a flexible, multidisciplinary curriculum; and modern facilities. Get prepared for a wide range of high-tech jobs, graduate school or a scientific career. Earn your undergraduate or graduate degree in materials science and engineering at the University of Arizona.Students expand their training and hands-on materials experience even further in the College’s design, build and compete clubs, and chapters of professional organizations including the Society for the Advancement of Materials and Process Engineers, Keramos and Material Advantage.

Students must have completed a four year bachelor from Regionally accredited institution.
