The graduate certificate in material science and engineering offers courses focused on all classes of compounds - metals, ceramics, electronic materials, and polymers. Understanding materials properties and behaviors from the molecular level to the manufacturing scale provide a strong basis for materials selection, development, and advancement of specialized manufacturing methods.

The certificate requires completion of four material science-related courses (12 cr hr).
