Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering

Rochester Institute of Technology

The materials science master’s degree combines science, engineering, and sustainability to contribute solutions to challenges facing industries as diverse as energy, medicine, semiconductors, retail/clothing, and sporting equipment.With the advent of new classes of materials and instruments, the traditional practice of empiricism in the search for and selection of materials is rapidly becoming obsolete. Due to this evolution, this is the ideal time to learn the skills to develop new materials with enhanced properties, enabling the creation of cutting-edge technologies.The objectives of RIT's master's in materials science and engineering are threefold:Offers a profound interdisciplinary learning experience in materials studies, crossing over the traditional boundaries of such classical disciplines like chemistry, physics, and electrical, mechanical, and microelectronic engineering.Provides extensive experimental courses in diverse areas of materials-related studies.Explores avenues for introducing greater harmony between industrial expansion and academic training.Our master's degree in materials science and engineering spans three colleges: Science, Engineering, and Sustainability. This gives you broad access that is not found in other programs that might be in a single college. In addition, the applied nature of the research and our co-op connections are unrivaled.Take part in extensive experimental courses in diverse areas of materials-related studies.Explore avenues for introducing greater harmony between industrial expansion and academic training.Gain the independent thinking and project management skills to grow professionally and prepare yourself for a wide range of careers.
