The department offers M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in materials science and engineering. The department's 13 faculty members are conducting cutting-edge multidisciplinary research in five thrust areas: advanced and additive manufacturing; advanced materials characterization; biomaterials, bioinspired and self-assembled materials; energy materials and sustainability; materials for structural applications and extreme environments; modeling, theory and computational approaches to materials science and engineering.

Graduate students participate in all aspects of the department through the MSE Graduate Student Association, which is heavily involved in outreach and other critical events including the faculty hiring process. Competitive fellowship packages are available for Ph.D. students in MSE.
