Ph.D. Program in Materials Science

Montana Tech has joined with the University of Montana and Montana State University to offer the Montana Ph.D. program in Materials Science. This multi-campus program involves faculty, students, and resources on all three campuses.

Within the broad intellectual footprint of materials science and engineering, the proposed Montana University System (MUS) program concentrates on four overlapping and interacting areas, which are important to Montana's economic interests: biomaterials; materials for energy storage, conversion and conservation; electronic, photonic, and magnetic (EPM) materials; and materials synthesis, processing and fabrication.

Originally chartered as The Montana State School of Mines, Montana Technological University (Montana Tech) has evolved into a dynamic institution which connects focused students to a network of people, opportunities, and experiences that empower them to change the world.

Along with world-class offerings in resource engineering, Montana Tech offers programs in other areas of engineering, the sciences, mathematics, computation, health, business. We offer certificate programs, associate, bachelor, and master’s degrees along with with doctoral degrees in Materials Science and Earth Science & Engineering.

Montana Tech’s commitment to research has resulted in significant funding for compelling projects that will help transform tomorrow. Undergraduate and graduate students alike are frequently involved with faculty and staff in these important research programs.
