Our newest physics degree program is the B.S. physics with nanotechnology concentration. This program is designed for students who are interested in the rapidly growing field of nanotechnology and nanomanufacturing (nanotechnology is the applied science that deals with manipulating matter one atom, or several atoms, at a time).
Students enrolled in this program have the opportunity to participate in an 18 credit hour laboratory experience at the Penn State Nanofabrication Facility.
Career opportunities for students completing this degree program include: microelectronics, optoelectronics, semiconductor and microsensor fabrication, and biotechnology.
This degree program is also excellent preparation for graduate study in surface physics and material science, as well as many of the rapidly emerging nanoscience/nanotechnology fields.
