MS Program in Materials Science and Engineering
Message from the Program Coordinator
UNF's interdisciplinary Master of Science degree program in Materials Science and Engineering brings together more than twenty-five faculty from Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Physics, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. A list of the program faculty and their areas of research can be found on the Faculty page. The program also leverages the materials characterization facilities in the UNF Materials Science and Engineering Research Facility (MSERF).
In this program, each graduate student conducts significant original research under the guidance of a faculty mentor, culminating in the completion and defense of a master’s thesis. Please see the Admissions page for information on how to apply. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
