Nanoscale science is an
cutting-edge field, emerging from the interface of the traditional sciences:
biology, chemistry, and physics.
Solutions to the problems of today and the future will require an
interdisciplinary approach and will come from discoveries at the frontier of the
nanometer size-range. To prepare our
students to be leaders in innovation, the Bachelor of Science in Nanoscale
Science degree is based on a core curriculum of foundational courses in
biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics.
Students can then choose to focus their interests and develop their
expertise by taking advanced courses in nanobiology,
nanochemistry, and nanophysics.
The Nanoscale Science Core
curriculum is listed below. Learn more about about our emphases in
