They can choose from the industry-focused Master of Engineering; the research-based Master of Science with thesis (MS) or Master of Science non-thesis (MS), Post-Bachelor\u2019s PhD, and Post-Master\u2019s PhD; and an Undergraduate Minor. As engineers with backgrounds in materials science, they\u2019ll understand the properties of various materials\u2014from metals and semiconductors to biopolymers\u2014and how to manipulate those materials to make useful products. And they\u2019ll meet a growing need in society; applications for new materials, and modifications of existing ones, are expected to keep the global demand for trained materials scientists growing in the 21st century. Our alumni have readily found work in a number of fields, including energy, health care, information technologies, and homeland security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Division of Materials Science &amp; Engineering at Boston University is truly interdisciplinary, with collaboration across the College of Engineering, the College of Arts &amp; Sciences, and the Henry M.
