Nanoscience is a field based on principles related to the behavior of matter at the atomic level in chemical, biological and mechanical systems. Students completing this program will demonstrate proficiency in operating state-of-the-art materials characterization and nanofabrication equipment. They will also be able to apply the concepts of nanoscience to advanced emerging technology fields including clean energy technology, biomedical devices, and high performance materials.

The Nanoscience program will provide an entry point to nanotechnology related careers, foundational learning in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Math and Engineering. This program prepares students for three career paths: a two-year degree program for technicians interested in the science, engineering and manufacturing of nanotechnologies; traditional engineering transfer students desiring a concentration in nanoscience; and career development for working professionals.
