Ph.D. Program
Texas State is expanding existing initiatives to create a cutting-edge materials science,
engineering and commercialization program that will contribute to the research,
development, and validation of materials to be used in the next generation of electronics,
medicines, plastics, sensors, and renewable energy. In addition to receiving departmental level support, these academic and research capabilities are supported by an institutional
‗top-to-bottom‘ commercialization platform. Coupling commercialization with science and
engineering, the planned curriculum will infuse an understanding of intellectual property law,
skills in business planning, competency in transforming innovations from the lab to
commercial production, and the ability to organize and lead interdisciplinary research teams.
Therefore, our goal is to educate the next generation of scientists and engineers who will
perform interdisciplinary research and will emerge as effective entrepreneurial leaders in the advancement of high tech 21st century global discovery and innovation.
Application deadline for Fall 2012 is June 15th.
