Overview
Program Mission
The Materials Science, Engineering, and Commercialization program from Texas State University is an integrated effort leveraging opportunities in the university’s biology, chemistry and biochemistry, physics, engineering, engineering technology, and business school programs.
The MSEC program’s goal is to train graduate scientists and engineers to perform interdisciplinary research while equipping them to emerge as effective entrepreneurial leaders in the advancement of 21st-century global discovery and innovation.
MSEC Ph.D. students conduct research in state-of-the-art facilities with exceptionally qualified faculty. Their research attracts significant external funding and is producing innovative commercial endeavors in civilian, defense, and security applications.
Career Options
While some MSEC graduates have continued to post-doctoral fellowships in academia, most graduates predominantly move to private sector science and technology positions. Several have started their own businesses based on technology they developed while studying at Texas State.
