Materials Science and Engineering

Materials scientists seek to understand the connections between the structure of materials and their properties, how particular properties can be achieved through suitable processing, and the applications of materials to modern technologies.

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University is highly interdisciplinary, bringing together students and faculty with diverse interests to address urgent technological needs. Particular areas of strength include biomaterials, nanomaterials, organic semiconductors, metallic glasses, materials characterization, and thin films. The department is home to 14 tenured or tenure-track faculty, approximately 78 graduate students, and approximately 10 post-doctoral scholars. Our research expenditures total approximately three million dollars annually. In the 2015 US News and World Report ranking of engineering graduate programs, Johns Hopkins University was ranked as the 18th best graduate school for materials engineering.

The principal criteria for financial aid are academic credentials, language and communication skills, and teaching performance and experience. Financial need is generally not considered, except in the awarding of tuition waivers. For incoming students, the academic credentials evaluation is based on grades, recommendation letters, mathematical background, GRE scores, and TOEFL/IELTS scores. For continuing students, progress in the academic program (grades, requirements satisfied, and research progress) is considered also.
