The Department of Materials Science and Engineer- ing offers the Master of Science, Master of Engineer- ing, Doctoi of Philosophy, and the Engineer degrees. Degrees may be obtained with specialization in metals and alloys, ceramic and polymeric materials. Specific areas of.concentration within the Depart- ment include biomaterials, corrosion, diffusion, me- chanical behavior, quantitative microscopy, mineral processing, reaction kinetics in the solid state, and structural analysis. The minimum requirement for admission to the program is a bachelor's degree in materials science and engineering or in a related field. Graduate stu- dents who can present the prerequisites for graduate courses without having to take more than 12 credits in advanced undergraduate courses will be considered to have fulfilled this requirement.
