At Colorado School of Mines you can be at the forefront of all aspects of materials education and research. A unique feature of materials education at Mines is the opportunity and flexibility to choose the educational path most appropriate for your goals. Students in the interdisciplinary materials science program at Mines may select any one of the five participating departments as their home department: Chemical Engineering, Physics, Metallurgical & Materials Engineering, Engineering or Chemistry.
All accepted students are provided funding through teaching and research assistantships. TA and RA contracts typically cover tuition, fees and a monthly stipend for one academic year, the majority of which are awarded in the fall. The academic departments award all fellowships and assistantships in conjunction with the admissions review process. You are encouraged to apply by the deadline to receive thorough consideration for funding.
Federal student loans are also available to give graduate students additional funding beyond any assistantships and fellowships they might receive.
