Materials Science & Engineering Graduate Open House

Admitted graduate students are invited by the UMD Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) to meet with faculty members, learn about current research and academic programs, explore our research facilities, and interact with current graduate students to learn more about the UMD culture and life in metro D.C.
Due to the ongoing health emergency, the 2021 events will be held virtually. Admitted students are encouraged to attend these virtual sessions, regardless of initial inclination to accept or decline the offer of admission. After interacting with current department members, you will be in a better position to make a well-informed decision about whether UMD is the correct choice for you. *Please note: These events are for Ph.D. applicants only.
