Mathematics and Physics Department
Material Science Program
The material science concentration affords the student
the opportunity for the study of materials using a core of courses in physics,
and a select set of courses in chemistry and engineering technology. This
course study will prepare the student for continued study of materials in
graduate school or to pursue a career in the discipline upon completing
the baccalaureate degree.
