Students in our undergraduate program receive a strong engineering education that has a solid emphasis on the fundamental properties and structure of materials, combined with the application and design of advanced materials for a wide range of engineering problems. In their junior and senior years, students specialize in one of six aspects of materials science and engineering:

  • Materials Science
  • Soft Materials and Biomaterials
  • Electrical, Optical and Functional Materials
  • Nanotechnology
  • Materials for Energy

Alternately, a specialization area can be designed to specifically meet an individual student's educational and career goals. The department also coordinates the Clark School'sInterdisciplinary Minor in Nanoscale Science and Technology.

Requirements

  • Nonrefundable application fee of $75
  • Two letters of recommendation are required for a completed application: one from your school counselor and one from a teacher. Recommendations must be sent to us directly from the recommender.
  • Official copy of your high school transcripts
  • Where appropriate, include official results and certificates of completion from national secondary school examinations such as GCSE/GCE, CBSE national and regional, CXC/CSEC and WAEC. Transcripts must be sent in the native language with a certified English translation.
  • The SAT or the ACT is required.
  • If neither the SAT nor the ACT is available in your country, submit a written request for a waiver of this requirement with your application. Applicants who don’t submit some form of official standardized testing may be at a competitive disadvantage.
  • Activities and awards list or resume
  • If English is not your native language—regardless of your citizenship—you must have an official report of your scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at the address below by the appropriate application deadline. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will consider all materials submitted in the application package to determine your level of English proficiency.
