Program Overview

Your clothes. Your water bottle. The screen you’re looking at right now. They're all made from materials.

Now imagine if you could make these materials stronger, safer and more sustainable. Sound interesting? Then this is the major for you.

Whether you want to design longer-lasting batteries, more comfortable contact lenses, or solar panels that can be made without toxic materials, this is where you start. It's the perfect program for people who love chemistry and data—and want a major that can (literally) touch all of our lives.

 What will I learn?

Most students start with classes and labs in physics, calculus and chemistry. As you get into your junior and senior years, you'll typically take more courses focused on thermodynamics, kinetics, properties of materials and methods for characterizing materials. This is a data-intensive program—the first of its kind in the United States—which means you’ll also learn how to use data science, machine learning and statistics to speed up the process of designing and developing materials.
