The J.D./M.S. (thesis/nonthesis) is a joint degree program
culminating in both the Juris Doctor degree, awarded by the College
of Law, and the Master of Science (thesis/nonthesis), awarded by
the College of Engineering. Under this program, a student can earn
both degrees in approximately 1 year less than it would take to
attain both degrees if pursued consecutively.
The Department also offers combined BS/MS materials science and
engineering/biomedical engineering master's degrees. The program
requirements are similar to those in materials science and
engineering. For more information, please contact both
Departments.
Concurrent M.D./Ph.D. degrees are offered through a collaborative
program between the College of Medicine and Materials Science and
Engineering. For more information, please contact the Department.
Specific areas of specialization within the Department include
biomaterials, ceramics, composites, computational materials,
corrosion, diffusion, electronic materials, glasses, mechanical
behavior, quantitative microscopy, mineral processing,
nanotechnologies, reaction kinetics in the solid state, structural
analysis, composites, compound semiconductors, opto-electronic
materials, integrated circuit materials, and high temperature
superconductors.
To be eligible for regular admission to the graduate program within
the Department, the student must hold a B.S. in an appropriate
major. Because of the breadth of M.S.E. graduate programs,
students with degrees in materials, ceramics, metallurgy, other
engineering, mathematics, or science areas (such as biology,
chemistry, or physics) have found ample opportunities to pursue
their research and training areas of interest.
The faculties of the Department of Materials Science and
Engineering (MSE) of the University of Florida (UF) and the
University of Roma Tor Vergata (URTV) have approved a
cooperative degree program in Materials Science and Engineering
culminating in a Doctor of Philosophy degree, awarded by both
universities. Contact the Department for details.
