材料科学与工程系提供的课程可通往MS，M.Eng。和Ph.D。度。对于M. Eng。学位，学生必须完成至少30个学分。该课程要求至少包括五门4学分的MSE核心研究生课程中的三门，即高级热力学，高级机械性能，高级结构和键合，高级电子性能和高级动力学。此外，至少有6个额外的选修课程学分（来自6000级MSE系课程）和任何剩余的课程学分必须来自工程学院和/或科学学院提供的6000级课程。最后，需要一个学期的3或4学分的独立项目研究项目。选修课程的选择必须在注册课程之前得到学生的学术顾问和研究生课程协调员的批准。
For the M. Eng. degree, students must complete at least 30 credits. The coursework requirement includes at least three of the five 4-credit MSE core graduate courses, namely, Advanced Thermodynamics, Advanced Mechanical Properties, Advanced Structure and Bonding, Advanced Electronic Properties and Advanced Kinetics. In addition at least 6 additional elective course credits from 6000-level MSE department courses and any remaining course credits must be from 6000-level courses offered by the School of Engineering and/or the School of Science. Finally, a one-semester 3- or 4-credit capstone independent study project is required. The elective course selection must be approved by the student's academic adviser and the graduate curriculum coordinator prior to enrollment in the courses. Both the M.S. and M. Eng. degrees require completion of a minimum of 30 credit hours. The M.S. degree requires a written thesis as well as an oral presentation to the scientific community. A three-credit capstone independent study project is required for the M. Eng. degree.
