You must meet the general admission requirements that pertain to all master's degree candidates.

Enrolled students typically have earned a grade point average of at least 3.3 on a 4.0 scale (B+ or above) of their undergraduate studies; this is not a requirement for admission, nor is it a guarantee.

Transcripts from all college studies must be submitted.

When reviewing an application, the candidate’s academic and professional background will be considered in its totality, and decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.

Materials science and engineering is one of engineering’s most highly interdisciplinary and dynamic disciplines. Materials scientists and engineers seek to understand the fundamental relationships between the structure, properties, processing, and performance of materials toward the synthesis of new materials. They also develop improved processes for making materials and work to understand the role of materials in the functioning of biological organisms.

At Johns Hopkins, materials science and engineering exists at the intersection of some of the most cutting-edge scientific and application oriented fields, such as energy, biomedicine, nanotechnology, aerospace, and electronics. Students here have the opportunity to work in one of 37 world-class laboratories, with one-on-one faculty mentoring. Our faculty-to-student ratio is 1-to-5, so you and your career goals will get plenty of individualized attention. Our focus areas of nanotechnology and biomaterials provide a solid foundation for future career development, allowing you to move in many exciting directions.
