The Undergraduate Curriculum Requirement documents described below show the courses required for a B.S. degree. These documents also show how the courses can be arranged into a four-year period. The Materials Science and Engineering undergraduate curriculum was in a transition year during AY 2002-03 because the curriculum has changed. This rearrangement of course material resulted in fewer required courses, more free electives, and greater program flexibility.

• Detailed version of the current MSE curriculum (pdf)
• Official college version of the MSE curriculum -fewer details, does not include pending changes (pdf)
• Approved Electives for MSE majors (pdf)
• Sample programs for the MSE major -includes the generic version as well as each of the options (pdf)

Students are allowed to graduate under the old curriculum if they were admitted to MSU before Fall 2003. To obtain a worksheet that compares the old and the new curriculum, and provides course equivalents to allow students to determine which curriculum is advantageous for them, click here (pdf).
