About the course

The interdepartmental graduate program in materials science offers a MS and PhD in materials science. There are two core areas of required courses, with flexibility to allow students to choose from the course list in the Graduate Bulletin under materials science. These courses are generally also cross-listed with one of twelve participating science and engineering departments. The MS degree in materials science requires a minimum of 30 credit hours of graduate courses. There are two paths to obtaining an MS: Plan A, with thesis, and Plan B, without thesis. Plan B is the normal, default, option for entering students. If a student wishes to pursue a Plan A path instead, it is the student?s responsibility to make arrangements with a faculty thesis advisor to supervise his/her work and to inform the MSC program office of this. For students electing to obtain the MS degree with thesis (Plan A), the following requirements apply: The 30 credit hours must include a minimum of 20 credit hours of MSC graduate courses plus 10 credit hours for research, and the student must successfully complete an oral defense of his/her thesis, after all other degree requirements have been completed.
