The Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship Program offers a minor in nanoparticle science and engineering for M.S. and Ph.D. students. The curriculum is designed to allow completion of the minor without an increase in overall course load. The minor requires one or two core courses and electives relevant to nanoparticle research. The program of courses is tailored in advance consultation between the student and director of graduate studies.
Program Delivery
Prerequisites for Admission
Other requirements to be completed before admission:
Admission to a master's or doctoral degree-granting program in the College of Science and Engineering and preparation of a minor program of coursework approved by the director of graduate studies is required. Students in programs outside the College of Science and Engineering must be approved by the director of graduate studies.
