The professional Master of Materials Science and Nanoengineering (MMSNE) at Rice University is a non-thesis program designed for students who have shown academic excellence, as well as engineering professionals who wish to delve more deeply into engineering subject matter, increase opportunities for industry advancement and enhance their technical skills.

Students not only focus on increasing their engineering abilities but also round out their education with training in entrepreneurship, project management, networking and leadership, preparing them for industry and business with an advanced understanding of both the theories and applications of materials science and nanotechnology.

Upon completing the MMSNE degree, students will be able to:

1. Acquire broad, advanced knowledge within either Materials Science or NanoEngineering, which is also in-depth in one major sub-discipline of the field.
2. Conduct research at an advanced level in at least one area of Materials Science and Nanoengineering.
3. Communicate scientific ideas effectively in writing and when speaking.

Students pursuing the MMSNE degree must complete:

• A minimum of 13 courses (33 credit hours) to satisfy degree requirements.
• A minimum of 33 credit hours of graduate-level study (graduate semester credit hours, coursework at the 500-level or above).
• A minimum of 27 graduate semester credit hours must be taken at Rice University.
• A minimum of 27 graduate semester credit hours must be taken in standard or traditional courses (with a course type of lecture, seminar, laboratory, lecture/laboratory).
• A minimum residency enrollment of one fall or spring semester of part-time graduate study at Rice University.
• A maximum of 2 courses (6 graduate semester credit hours) from transfer credit. For additional departmental guidelines regarding transfer credit, see the Policies tab.
• The requirements for one area of specialization. The MMSNE degree program offers two areas of specialization:
  • Materials Science, or
  • NanoEngineering.
• A minimum overall GPA of 2.67 or higher in all Rice coursework.
• A minimum program GPA of 3.00 or higher in all Rice coursework that satisfies requirements for the non-thesis master鈥檚 degree with a minimum grade of B- (2.67 grade points) in each course.
