MA/MS in Materials Sciences

This master's program provides advanced technical training in materials science and engineering, including thermodynamics and materials characterization. It emphasizes practical learning and research and gives students access to well-equipped facilities. Students may take a coursework-only route or a thesis route. Core materials courses can be combined with electives in areas such as chemical engineering, data science, and project management, and internships or cooperative education can earn credit. The program draws on Detroit's industrial network and an active advisory board. An accelerated option lets students earn a bachelor's and master's degree in five years. The curriculum totals 30 credits. It can be completed with a six-credit thesis or without a thesis. Students tailor the program to their interests, and the university invites applicants to start an application online or request more information from the department.
