The Grad Track Pathway in Materials Science and Engineering offers early provisional admission to the master’s or PhD degree program to exceptional undergraduate students and is designed for these students to earn coursework credit towards their master’s or PhD degree while completing their bachelor’s degree in the same discipline. In this program, a student can achieve both bachelor’s and master’s or PhD degrees faster than if pursuing the degrees separately. The student will first earn the bachelor’s degree and then the master’s or PhD degree. The student must complete the bachelor’s degree and meet the admission requirements for the master’s program before being admitted to the master’s or PhD program.

Degree programs

  • MS or PhD in Materials Science and Engineering
  • MS or PhD in Ceramic Engineering
  • MS or PhD in Metallurgical Engineering

Benefits of the program

  • Up to 9 credit hours (for Master's) or 12 hours (for PhD) of 5000-level or 6000-level Cer Eng, Met Eng or MS&E graduate coursework may be transferred from the Missouri S&T bachelor’s degree to the associated graduate degree.
  • Graduate coursework taken for Grad Track Pathway will be assessed undergraduate tuition rates.
