The Materials Science department in UConn’s Institute of Materials Science (IMS) offers a fully online, 12-credit advanced engineering certificate in Advanced Materials Characterization with synchronous and asynchronous coursework. The only program of its kind and structured around virtual lab experiments, videos and lectures, engineers and scientists will learn various methods of analysis on how materials complement each other.

The certificate highlights include:

• Choosing which instruments to use to solve practical problems 
• Understanding how various methods of analysis for materials complement each other along with the best methods to be used 
• Knowing the difference between which methods are destructive and which are not 
• Analyzing data and preparing samples. 

Masters Degree in Materials Science and Engineering

All students apply and are admitted to the UConn Graduate School. After completing the certificate program, students will have 12 graduate credits that can be applied toward a Master of Engineering degree in Materials Science and Engineering.
