About the course

The Materials Science Ph.D. program is novel in that the three University of Alabama System (UAS) campuses offer a joint doctoral degree without the existence of a separate Materials Science Department on any campus of the system. Under this program, faculty members from the various departments on each campus constitute the Materials Science faculty. Participating faculty come from the Departments of Chemical & Materials Engineering, Chemistry, Engineering Mechanics, Metallurgical Engineering, Mineral Engineering, and Physics at UA, from the Departments of Biochemistry, Biomedical Engineering, Biomaterials, Chemistry, Materials Engineering, Optometry, Physics, and the School of Medicine at UAB, and from the Departments of Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Physics at UAH.
