Ph.D. in Materials Science & Engineering
Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) is critical for developing new technologies. Little progress can be made without design, synthesis and utilization of new and advanced materials. MSE lies at the intersection of chemistry, physics, and engineering. The objectives of an MSE researcher are to understand how various parameters (processing, composition, thin film/bulk, atomic arrangements, etc.) dictate structure (micro, atomic, macro) and contribute to determining the properties and overall performance of a material or device. Most research projects are externally sponsored (by federal and state agencies as well as industry) and therefore are at the cutting edge of technology development. Rowan University invites you to apply to the Ph.D. in Materials Science & Engineering Program, an interdisciplinary collaboration of the College of Science & Mathematics (CSM) and the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering (HRCOE).

The required core courses allow students with varied backgrounds and undergraduate degrees to prosper in the program, the curriculum offers a highly flexible inter- and multidisciplinary structure, allowing students to pursue and achieve their research objectives from fundamental theoretical work to applied device development to advanced manufacturing techniques. The completion of a minimum of 72 credits of graduate-level work beyond the bachelor’s degree OR a minimum of 42 credits of graduate-level work beyond the master’s degree is required. A minimum of 24 of the 72 credits must come from coursework, the rest from research/dissertation credits.
