This program is available through Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences, allowing students to explore materials science while benefiting from the college's emphasis on liberal arts and sciences. Unlike the bachelor of science degree provided by the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science, this option offers a unique approach. The Department of Materials Science and Engineering has earned widespread recognition for its exceptional educational and research achievements. We equip students with the skills, practical knowledge, and flexibility needed to succeed not just upon graduation but throughout their professional lives.
