The School of Materials Science and Engineering offers an undergraduate minor in Materials Science and Engineering for non-MSE majors. The purpose of the minor is to broaden the materials background of non-materials science and engineering students and to introduce them to a materials approach to problem solving that is different from that provided by their major.

A requirement for earning a minor in Materials Science and Engineering is to complete eighteen semester hours of MSE coursework, of which twelve semester hours must be at the 3000 level or higher and all of which must be at the 2000 level or higher. Courses required for the major (excluding electives) may not be applied toward the minor. Many students will be able to complete a considerable portion of the minor requirements by scheduling MSE courses as electives required by their major.

Non-MSE undergraduate majors are encouraged to participate in this program provided they have the appropriate prerequisites and approval of their home school academic advisor. To participate or for additional information, contact the associate chair for Undergraduate Programs in the School of Materials Science and Engineering.
