Doctor's degrees in Materials Science: A program that focuses on the general application of mathematical and scientific principles to the analysis and evaluation of the characteristics and behavior of solids, including internal structure, chemical properties, transport and energy flow properties, thermodynamics of solids, stress and failure factors, chemical transformation states and processes, compound materials, and research on industrial applications of specific materials.
The Ph.D. program offers a blend of theoretical and applied studies enabling graduates to tackle fundamental problems in materials science and engineering. Our Ph.D. graduates are employed in academia, national labs, and industry, with careers in education, research and development, and technical management.
our Ph.D. programs in Ceramics, Glass and Materials Science and Engineering are ranked among the top 50 Materials Science and Engineering programs...
The graduate program is designed to give students an understanding of general phenomena in all materials, plus a deep understanding of at least one class of materials. Students may enter the graduate program with undergraduate preparation in physics, chemistry, engineering, or materials science. After a year or two of coursework, and after a candidacy examination, a graduate student concentrates on his or her primary task—Ph.D. thesis research...
Graduate students in pursuit of a Ph.D. must fulfill additional research and classroom responsibilities. A student becomes a candidate for the Ph.D. degree by successfully completing a written Qualifying Exam and by defending a proposed thesis project. Completing the requirements for the Ph.D. degreetypically requires three years beyond the M.S. The requirements for the Ph.D. degree are:
Six graduate courses in addition to those of the M.S. program...
