Print-Friendly Page (opens a new window)

Degree requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Materials Science are listed below. For general program information, admission requirements, graduate faculty lists and/or details on part-time options, see Materials Science .

Degree requirements

Students in the PhD program must successfully complete MTSC 6010G - Physics and Chemistry of Materials , and MTSC 6020G - Advanced Topics in Materials Science or MTSC 6140G - Experimental Techniques in Materials Characterization . In addition to these two core courses, students must attend and complete the two non-credit seminar courses MTSC 6000G - Graduate Seminar in Science Communication I (non-credit) and MTSC 6100G - Graduate Seminar in Science Communication II (non-credit) . Students must also pass the PhD candidacy examination (MTSC 7000G - PhD Thesis Proposal and Candidacy Exam ) and prepare and orally defend their doctoral dissertation (MTSC 7002G - PhD Dissertation ).

Depending on their previous academic work at the master’s level, students may also be required to take courses in addition to those indicated above.

Each student’s previous work will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. An individualized program of study will be designed and outlined in the student’s letter of offer.
