MSE Minor
The Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) faculty are excited to announce this opportunity for students to choose an MSE minor beginning Fall of 2021.
Keep in mind that while the MSE minor will appear in the 2022-23 catalog, it is active for the enrollment academic year 2021-22.
The MSE minor is the first engineering minor offered at UC Merced and is open to students in all three Schools who meet the prerequisites for the 20 required units.
