The School of Engineering at The University of Mississippi was founded in 1900 beginning its rich history as the oldest engineering school in the state. Instruction in engineering at the University of Mississippi dates from 1854 when a department of engineering was established by the Board of Trustees to complement a strong program in the natural sciences.

The Materials Science and Engineering graduate emphasis program was started in 1989 and is housed in Carrier Hall located on the main circle of the University academic buildings.

A location map and building photograph of Carrier Hall on the University Circle shows the central location of the MSE enginering program on campus. A virtual tour of the entire campus can also be taken to see a 360 degree view of several central campus sites.
