Materials Science, B.S.

The B.S. in Materials Science is supported by the chemistry and physics programs. Materials science is an applied science program that includes study and research into the structures and chemical properties of various natural and synthetic or composite materials, including metals, alloys, rubber, ceramics, semiconductors, polymers, and glass. Students in this program will learn the skills necessary to develop new materials as well as develop the expertise required to have successful careers in materials science.
