Master of Materials Science in MSE

The M.M.S.E. degree in MSE emphasizes classroom and perhaps laboratory learning, and requires that the student achieve satisfactorily 30 course credits beyond the BS level. The M.M.S.E. program follows the M.S. degree requirements except that the 1-credit seminar course is not required for students enrolled in the distance learning program. This program of study includes 2 additional electives at the 5xx, 6xx and 7xx level, selected from all SEAS-course offerings or other UVa Science/Mathematics courses and subject to approval. Up to 6 credits of electives may be earned in faculty-supervised independent study or advanced topics courses.
