The Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) graduate program was designed as an interdisciplinary venture to attract highly qualified graduate students, considered as backbone of any pertinent research in academia. Although there are several UPRM departments involved in MSE research, there is no appealing accretion program available on this area. Therefore, the program offers specialization in different fields of materials science such as materials selection, nanostructured materials, magnetic materials, electronic materials, biomaterials, materials characterization, materials recycling, among others
