Interdisciplinary Materials Science Program

Alumni

Our interdisciplinary approach allows students to interface and collaborate with faculty from engineering, physics, chemistry and medicine.  As a result, our graduates are highly marketable and have gone on to successful careers at a diverse range of institutions. 42% of our gradautes have gone to work in industry (Johnson & Johnson, Dow, DuPont, Exxon and Biotech start-ups) 35% have stayed in academia and 23% work in the government (FDA, NIH, US Patent Office).
