Bachelor of Science as Recommended by the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (Course 3-A)

专业详情

Some students may be attracted to the many opportunities available in the materials discipline but also have special interests that are not satisfied by the Course 3 program. For instance, some students may wish to take more biology and chemistry subjects in preparation for medical school or more management subjects prior to entering an MBA or law program. In these cases, the 3-A program may be of value as a more flexible curriculum in which a larger number of elective choices is available.

The curriculum requirements for Course 3-A are similar to but more flexible than those for Course 3.

A student considering the 3-A program (including NEET) should contact the department Academic Office, who will counsel them more fully on the academic considerations involved. The student will prepare a complete plan of study which must be approved by the departmental Undergraduate Committee. This approval must be obtained no later than the beginning of the student’s junior year. The student is then expected to adhere to this plan unless circumstances require a change, in which case a petition for a modified program must be submitted to the Undergraduate Committee. The department does not seek ABET accreditation for the 3-A program.

The NEET option allows students to pursue a project-centered academic program across multiple departments and disciplines.
