MSc in Materials Science and Engineering in Minneapolis United States | University of Minnesota Twin Cities

The CEMS Department provides two master's degree options: the M.S.Mat.S.E. (available as Plan A or C) and the professional M.Mat.S.E. degree. The M.S.Mat.S.E. Plan A is a thesis-focused program primarily intended for graduate students not pursuing a PhD. Professionals seeking part-time study can pursue either the M.Mat.S.E. (requiring a design project) or the coursework-only M.S.Mat.S.E. Plan C. CEMS graduate courses address fundamental materials science and engineering topics (material structure/symmetry, thermodynamics/kinetics, electronic/optical/magnetic properties, and mechanical characteristics). Specialized course offerings include rheology, coating processes, process control, finite element analysis, ceramics, polymers, materials design/processing, corrosion, fracture mechanics, electron microscopy, thin films, composites, electrochemical engineering, solid state kinetics, electronic materials, organic semiconductors, electronic ceramics, dislocations, epitaxial growth, and porous media science.
