Nanotechnology Certificate

The nanotechnology certificate offers students the technical expertise and theoretical understanding to manipulate matter at the nanometer length scale. Nanofabrication has applications in many fields including physics, biology, material science and engineering. This certificate is very popular with students in part because of the employment opportunities offered to its graduates.

The certificate requires the completion of one semester at the Penn State Center for Nanotechnology Education and Utilization; since this requirement is satisfied during the summer, enrolling in the concentration should not delay graduation.
