MSc in Materials Science and Engineering in Houghton United States | Michigan Technological University

Materials Science and Engineering combines the creation and processing of materials with the study of their structure, characteristics, and practical uses, while maintaining strong partnerships with industrial and governmental organizations. Students can explore various materials including metals, ceramics, electronic components, magnetic substances, optical materials, and polymers. Our graduate programs in materials science and engineering foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, allowing students to work alongside peers and researchers from diverse engineering and scientific fields. This discipline emphasizes understanding material synthesis, processing techniques, material properties, and their real-world applications—ranging from traditional metal production to cutting-edge nanomaterial development. Since awarding its first doctorate in Metallurgy in 1934, Michigan Tech continues to pioneer materials research and advanced education, currently providing both Master's and PhD programs in Materials Science and Engineering.
