Nanotechnology Degree Programs

The purpose of this program is to examine ethical challenges posed by emerging technologies, including nanotechnology, neurotechnology, biotechnology, robotics and advanced information and communication technology.

Nanofabrication manufacturing technology relates to the creation of microscopic structures. This technology is the basis of such diverse areas as computer chip manufacturing, flat panel displays and large scale solar power arrays used in space exploration, biological implants, medicine and pharmaceuticals. Rapid growth in these industries has created a strong demand for technicians with training in the intricacies of nanofabrication techniques and clean room procedures. Students enrolling in either program will spend three semesters on BCCC campus and the final capstone semester on Penn State campus.

In partnership with the International Association of Nanotechnology, the Institute has received funding by a grant from United States Department of Labor to develop curriculum and provide technical training programs to business executives, professional managers and dislocated workers in nanotechnology.

The M.S. Program in Nanoscience is ideal for students who want to enter the workforce in nanoscience and its related energy, biomedical, electronics, telecommunications, and materials science fields, as well as for students who wish to expand their knowledge and skills in preparation for doctoral programs in chemistry, physics or materials science.

The Graduate School offers a program of study leading to the Ph.D. degree in Chemistry. As one of seven sub-disciplines, students may specialize in nanotechnology and materials.

Nanotechnology Minor program at Clarion University's Physics Department.

A nanomaterials master's of science degree is a postgraduate degree that enables you to enhance your academic qualifications in the quickly growing field of nanomaterials to advance your career. Of the 21 non-core course credits, at least nine must be taken within the Materials Department, while the rest may be taken within the College of Engineering, School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems, College of Arts and Sciences, or at other colleges.

The graduate program is designed to address the need for an interdisciplinary graduate education at Duke in Nanoscience that extends beyond the traditional disciplines and skills that are taught within any existing department.

This program is comprised of three major components: arts and sciences, electrical engineering technology, and free electives. The electrical engineering technology component consists of core and concentration requirements in addition to electrical technology elective credits.
