Our Program

The cross-cutting, Institute-wide Nanotechnology Graduate Program (NGP) is jointly administered by the five founding academic departments:

• Department of Chemical, Biomedical, and Materials Engineering (CBME)
• Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology (CCB)
• Department of Civil, Environmental, and Ocean Engineering (CEOE)
• Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME)
• Department of Physics and Engineering Physics (PEP)

Participation in the Nanotechnology Graduate Program leads to Masters of Science, Masters of Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy in the respective disciplines with a designated nanotechnology concentration. To qualify for the nanotechnology concentration, in addition to satisfying disciplinary core requirements, candidates for Masters’ degrees must complete the common core and a minimum of three elective courses and should attend regularly the seminar series in the Nanotechnology Curriculum. Thesis option is also available for Masters’ degrees. Candidates for Ph.D. degrees with the nanotechnology concentration must satisfy disciplinary core requirements, must complete the common core and a minimum of five elective courses, and must regularly attend the nanotechnology seminar series in the Nanotechnology Curriculum. In addition, a Ph.D. candidate must successfully execute a doctoral dissertation in the realm of nanotechnology. Applications are processed and decisions are made in individual’s home department. Disciplinary admissions standards apply.
