What is the difference between the Materials Science & Engineering Program (MS&E) and the Materials Science Program?
A. Both programs are highly interdisciplinary, and offer degrees of Masters of Science and Doctor of Philosophy, the Materials Science Program is not an engineering program whereas the MS&E program is. Both programs do not have any special admissions requirements other that what is required by the graduate school; although the MS&E Program does require general GRE scores, there is no minimum GRE score requirement. Faculty members in the Materials Science are located in the Institute of Materials Science and also with the Chemical, Materials and Bimolecular Engineering (CMBE) department, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Polymer Program, and Biological Sciences departments. The Materials Science Program is unique in a sense that it fits students’ materials educational needs that may otherwise not fit well within the other degree programs. Student’s plan of study and coursework is typically decided by the advisor as well as the rest of the students’ gradua
