- Description
- The materials science and engineering MS combines science, engineering, and sustainability to solve challenges from diverse industries ranging from medicine to energy. The program includes required core courses, graduate electives, and either a thesis or project. The core courses are specially designed to establish a common base of materials-oriented knowledge for students with baccalaureate degrees in chemistry, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, and related disciplines. Elective courses may be selected from advanced courses offered by RIT's School of Chemistry and Materials Science or, upon approval, from courses offered by other RIT graduate programs. You may choose to complete a required thesis or capstone project at the conclusion of the program. The program offers courses in the late afternoon and evenings to encourage practicing scientists and engineers to pursue the program without interrupting their employment.
