Overview

Program Objective

Materials Science from University of Alabama Huntsville is an interdisciplinary masters program that "focuses on the general application of mathematical and scientific principles to the analysis and evaluation of the characteristics and behavior of solids, including internal structure, chemical properties, transport and energy flow properties, thermodynamics of solids, stress and failure factors, chemical transformation states and processes, compound materials, and research on industrial applications of specific materials.

The University of Alabama in Huntsville MS in Materials Science is not part of the tri-campus program. Students receiving a master's degree in materials science may be based in one of several departments including chemistry, physics, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering. In the majority of cases, students receive their masters in materials science as part of their doctoral program. Students are encouraged to pursue the thesis option as it enhances the student's technical skill set, exposes them to new research opportunities and makes them more attractive to employers.
