The department is committed to providing an educational experience that prepares students for careers in materials science and engineering, as well as for advanced study in the sciences, engineering, and other professional areas. The educational program is designed to have the flexibility to meet the needs of each student.
Students plan their individual programs of study in consultation with their faculty advisers.
Each program is designed to meet the University and department requirements for the B.S. degree, as well as to reflect the student's interests. An anticipated individual program of study should be filed as early as possible during the student's residence. The faculty adviser's signature is required on all course registration and course change forms. As changes are made in the program, it shall be the student s responsibility to see that a revised program is filed with the adviser. The 41 credits of materials science courses must be passed with a letter grade of C or higher.
