The Materials Science and Engineering minor degree program is designed to enhance students’ fundamental knowledge of the materials paradigm to improve their marketability to employers or graduate schools.

Degree Requirements

The Minor in Materials Science and Engineering requires from 19-21 credit hours from a list of approved courses. These courses have pre-requisites, and their enrollment will require approval from the MMBME Department. The program will accept the equivalent of the MME 2303 Intro to Materials Sci & Engrgcourse taught within other departments in the College of Engineering. Students must earn a grade of “C” or better in all courses counted towards the minor. A bachelor’s degree must be completed for the degree to be awarded.
