Nanotechnology (MS)

The Master of Science in Nanotechnology program provides students with scientific knowledge and research training in nanoscience and nanotechnology. The program prepares students for seeking employment in industry and academia involved in nanotechnology research, product development and commercialization, or to pursue advanced PhD degrees in related areas.

The Nanotechnology MS program consists of 30 credit hours of study that covers Fall, Spring and Summer consecutive academic terms. Admissions to the program occur in both the Fall and Spring semester of each year, and students are expected to finish the degree in two years.

The program of study includes a balanced course offering including interdisciplinary scientific courses and research training in the field of nanotechnology. The curriculum of courses is delivered via face-to-face instruction. The program includes 3 credit hours of independent study and 6 credit hours of thesis research under the supervision of a faculty at the NanoScience Technology Center. This training will provide students with hands-on research experiences on nanomaterial synthesis, nanostructure fabrication and characterization, and application development in their interested areas.
