BS Chemistry/MS Materials Design and Innovation
From molecules to materials
The combined BS Chemistry/MS Materials Design and Innovation program lets you study the composition of matter, then apply that knowledge through engineering to design new materials. This accelerated pathway builds on a strong chemistry foundation and prepares you to move quickly into graduate level study focused on materials design and innovation.
