The Materials Engineering Graduate Program welcomes students interested in materials and processing questions — the most deeply rooted challenges in any advanced development program today.

Consider the University of Dayton if you want to —

• Study alongside materials experts respected by scholars worldwide
• Use research facilities acknowledged as among the best of the best
• Earn a degree that will make you more competitive

Our program is flexible and student centered and has a 35-year reputation for achievement. In fact, problem solving in structural materials — including metals, polymers, ceramics and composites — has earned UD’s Materials Engineering Graduate Program a national reputation for excellence.

At the University of Dayton, you can expect —

• A close working relationship with the program director, who will help you tailor a plan of study
• Part-time or full-time options
• Courses available during lunchtime or in the evenings
• Selected on-site graduate courses at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Delphi Automotive Systems in Dayton and at the General Electric Aircraft Engine Group in Cincinnati
• Programs leading to a master’s degree, a doctor of engineering degree and a doctor of philosophy degree

UD graduate students routinely receive financial support for conducting materials research alongside engineers at the University of Dayton Research Institute and the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Materials Directorate at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Many of these professionals serve as UD research advisers and materials engineering faculty members.

Both research facilities, coupled with the on-campus Center for Materials Diagnostics, constitute some of the best materials engineering research facilities in the world.
