Description
|
Students enter the
Multi-Institution Cooperative Degree program with diverse
undergraduate training in engineering, physical, or
biological sciences. The multidisciplinary curriculum was
structured to develop a common philosophy of the
interrelationship of structure, properties, and synthesis of
materials. Admission into the Materials Science Graduate
Program through UAB is by recommendation of the UAB
Materials Science Program Committee. The program committee
may waive some course work for students entering the program
with a master's degree in an appropriate discipline. On
acceptance into the program, students are affiliated with a
"host" department. Assistantships may be awarded either by
the host department or by the Materials Science Program
Committee. Courses may be taken at UAB, the University of
Alabama in Tuscaloosa, or the University of Alabama in
Huntsville. Near the end of formal course work, students
must pass a comprehensive examination and present a
dissertation proposal.
