The graduate program equips students with comprehensive knowledge of synthesis-structure-property relationships across all materials, along with specialized expertise in at least one specific material category. Upon finishing the Special Regulations/Ph.D. program, graduates have advanced to academic careers in teaching and research, pursued scientific roles in government and corporate sectors, managed manufacturing operations, or assumed leadership roles within the materials industry. Applicants with undergraduate degrees in physics, chemistry, engineering, or materials science are eligible for admission.
The program typically does not accept students seeking only a master's degree. Ph.D. candidates must fulfill core course requirements, pass an oral qualifying exam, conduct original materials science research documented in a thesis, and successfully defend their findings in a public forum.

Qualification Requirements
Students who have not specialized in materials science as undergraduates, as well as those who have, may be admitted for graduate study. As preparation for advanced study and research, entering graduate students are expected to have a thorough background in undergraduate mathematics, physics, and engineering. An outstanding four-year undergraduate program in mathematics and sciences may also provide a suitable background. The qualifications of each applicant will be considered individually, and, after being enrolled, the student will arrange his or her course of study and research in consultation with members of the faculty and the Materials Science option representative.
Applicants whose native language is not English and those who have had no formal instruction in English will be required to take a test to evaluate English proficiency. Please refer to "Required Tests" for a list of the GRE reporting requirements and the English proficiency exams currently accepted. The admissions committee may also consider research papers, publications and other original work.
