Program details

Overview

Boston University's flexible professional master's in materials science and engineering can be finished in one full-time year. Students who prefer an internship or a project experience can stretch it to two years, and part-time enrollment is possible. The program targets recent undergraduates wanting a quick master's before industry work, mid-career professionals looking to change fields, and industry staff who wish to learn more about materials and engineering management. Technical materials courses are combined with management material that emphasizes leading technology teams and developing products, and no thesis is needed. Students take two core courses, two further structured materials courses, one management course and three other electives. A minimum cumulative average is needed to graduate, and learning outcomes include solving materials problems, grasping global and societal context of engineering, and leading or joining technical teams.
