PhD in Materials Science & Engineering

An undergraduate or master's degree in materials science and engineering, or in a relevant field of study such as another engineering major, physics or chemistry, is required.

We only require transcripts from institutions where you received (or will receive) a degree

Letters from academic references are preferred, but relevant professional references are also acceptable. Strong letters will be substantive, specific, and will address 1) an applicant's technical experience and research ability, 2) the applicant's likelihood of success in graduate-level studies, and 3) the relevance/appropriateness of the MSE program for the applicant's future goals.

Resume/CV

A statement of purpose should convey information not available on your transcripts or resume. It should be approximately one page in length and offer a clear overview of your reasons for pursuing this graduate degree, your previous preparation, your research experience and interests, and your plans for seeing this degree through to completion.
