The Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins University offers both a Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.) in Materials Science and Engineering and a Master of Science (MS) via the Engineering for Professionals (EP) division. The M.S.E. is a research-oriented degree with the option for a thesis ('with essay,' typically 21 months, 8 courses) or non-thesis path (12-18 months, 10 courses). The part-time MS (M.M.S.E.) is designed for working professionals, is fully online, and requires completion of 10 courses within 5 years. Students can specialize or pursue focus areas such as nanotechnology, biomaterials, or other emerging areas. Both options combine foundational core courses with advanced electives, and provide opportunities for research, hands-on lab experience, and industry networking. The curriculum emphasizes structure, properties, thermodynamics, and kinetics of materials, plus electives aligned with student interests. Graduates are prepared for careers in academia, R&D, and cutting-edge industries. 来源： https://e-catalogue.jhu.edu/engineering/full-time-residential-programs/degree-programs/materials-science-engineering/materials-science-engineering-master/
