材料科学与工程理学硕士

硕士课程提供的固态基础和材料工程培训要比本科课程更高的水平。要获得硕士学位，学生必须修读45个单元的课程（大约15个四分之一的课程）。所需的课程列表在《斯坦福公报》的“材料科学与工程”部分中给出。有些学生每季度要上五节课，并在一年内毕业，但是大多数学生需要四到五分之二来毕业。通过与实验室教授进行研究并撰写硕士报告，许多硕士生选择获得6到9个学分的学分。在硕士课程中表现出色且决定要留在斯坦福大学攻读博士学位的学生，可以申请加入该博士学位课程。
The master's program provides training in solid-state fundamentals and materials engineering at a more advanced level than the undergraduate program. To receive the master's degree, a student must take 45 units of courses (approximately 15 quarter-long classes). The list of classes that are required is given in the Materials Science and Engineering section of the Stanford Bulletin. Some students take five classes per quarter and graduate in one year, but most take between four and five quarters to graduate. Many master's students chose to earn 6 to 9 units of credit by doing research with a professor in the lab and writing a master's report. Students who do exceptionally well in the master's program and decide that they would like to stay at Stanford to earn a PhD degree may petition into the PhD program.
