Material Science and Engineering

The Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) program is an graduate interdisciplinary MS and PhD program aimed at providing rigorous education in materials science and engineering and the fundamental physics, engineering, chemistry and biology that underlie this discipline. Educational goals are achieved through both course work and training in cross-disciplinary research supervised by one or more science and engineering faculty members. 

The program offers six unique tracks of study:

  • electronic, magnetic and photonics materials
  • soft materials
  • structural materials
  • materials for energy
  • biomaterials
  • computational materials science

The MSE program is directed by Professor Chris Bowman of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. For more information, visit the MSE website at mse.colorado.edu.
