Microelectronics and Photonics Science & Technology (MP) is a unique, interdisciplinary graduate program offered at Stevens Institute of Technology. This program was created to meet the needs of students and industry in the areas of design, fabrication, integration, and applications of microelectronic and photonic devices for communications and information systems.

The program covers fundamentals as well as state-of-the-art industrial practices to provide the students and practicing engineers with the necessary knowledge and training to be competitive and excel in the exciting fields of microelectronics and photonics. It is designed for maximum flexibility - to accommodate the background and interests of the participants either for a Master's degree or a Graduate Certificate.

The Departments of Physics, Materials Engineering, and Electrical & Computer Engineering have established a set of cross-listed courses which can be used by graduate students in any of these three programs to complete their Master's degree with a concentration in Microelectronics and Photonics Science & Technology. These courses also provide the foundation for a Graduate Certificate in Microelectronics and Photonics Science and Technology. An introductory core course provides students in each of the three departments with the background needed to complete the program.
