Materials Science | Master’s Degree

University of Vermont

Applicants should have a bachelor's degree in physics, chemistry, metallurgy, engineering, materials science, or mathematics. Applicants with other backgrounds will be evaluated individually.

Description

While the origins of materials science lie in metallurgy, today it is a highly interdisciplinary field that brings together condensed matter physicists, engineers and chemists in a quest for understanding the fundamental mechanical, electronic or thermal properties of basically all materials known to humans.

The University of Vermont's program is ideally suited for student trying to get their bearing in the promising materials science field. With 20 faculty members and 17 graduate students, our students don’t get “lost in the crowd." They develop close working relationships with world renowned scientists in multiple disciplines. The program is ideally balanced in terms of faculty and students research interests and expertise. This is reflected in the three tracks we offer: Electronic Materials, Biomaterials and Mechanics of Materials.
