Without materials, there is no engineering...

If you are still deciding your college major, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MatSE) at the University of Illinois offers great opportunities that you should consider. The department consists of 27 faculty and more than 400 undergraduate and graduate students, making us one of the largest materials programs in the U.S. Our undergraduate and graduate programs are consistently ranked among the top in the nation by sources such as U.S. News and World Report.

Graduates with MatSE degrees find jobs in aerospace, automotive, biomedical, chemical, electronics, energy, consulting, patent law and telecommunications industries – virtually any industry that uses ‘stuff’. Students can receive a Bachelor of Science in Materials Science and Engineering, Master's and Doctoral degrees as well as minors in material science and engineering and polymer science and engineering.
