MIT retains an explicit Materials Science department. It was one of the original 1860s departments called Mining Engineering and Metalurgy, but changed its name when geology was spun off as a science department in the 1940s.

As does Cambridge (Materials Science & Metallurgy). I recently had a friend complete a PhD in Materials Science.
