M.Sc. in Materials Science and Engineering, University of Arizona

Opportunities;Students can leverage undergraduate coursework in MSE into a graduate degree through one additional year of coursework. During the senior year, a student may take several technical electives and MSE technical electives at the graduate level. After completing these graduate level courses, the student will receive credit toward their undergraduate degree and a Master’s degree. The Materials Science and Engineering - Accelerated Master's Program degree offered by the University of Arizona is not open to students who have completed a Bachelor's degree or an advanced degree from another institution.;Materials Science & Engineering;The science and engineering of materials hold the key to advances in many critical areas of high technology - from integrated circuits and chip carriers to turbine engines and optical waveguides. As a result, the field of Materials Science and Engineering abounds with scientific challenges critical to a broad variety of applications. Exciting times are ahead and MSE is poised to initiate new thrusts in optical materials, biomaterials, tissue engineering, nanotechnology and computational modeling of materials.;Visit the official programme website for more information;The Materials Science and Engineering Department at the University of Arizona has attracted a wide group of world class individuals to its faculty and has developed a pioneering and wide-ranging curriculum at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Funding from the state, federal government and industry has provided modern facilities and supported research of ever expanding scope and magnitude. We conduct research at both the campus setting and at our off-campus research facility, the Arizona Materials Laboratory (AML).;The department has exciting research programs in areas as diverse as high-tech ceramics, non-linear optical materials, sol-gel and biomimetic processing, and polymers in electronic packaging. It has a long tradition of excellence in extractive and physical metallurgy; the movement toward high-tech materials has not been made at the expense of this excellence, but rather as a complement to it.
