MS, PhD
Clemson offers both MS and PhD degrees in Materials Science and Engineering. This program prepares graduate students to apply science and engineering principles to solve problems related to the scientific understanding, characterization, and development of new technology necessary for the processing and manufacturing of different materials and related products. The curriculum provides for specialization in metallurgy, glasses and ceramics, and polymeric materials including electronic materials, biomaterials, polymer and fiber science, textile science, polymer and textile chemistry, and fiber and composite materials.
Students with a baccalaureate degree in any branch of engineering, as well as chemistry, physics, and biology majors with strong mathematical backgrounds, may be admitted to the program. The program is designed to produce engineers and scientists whose degrees represent specialization coupled with a broad foundation in all materials.
