Advanced Materials, P.B.C.

Nanoscience is the study of small things and advances in this field are making it possible to create innovations such as ultra-small senses, advanced drug delivery systems and novel materials. Nanoscience requires a broad knowledge in chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, and engineering. The post-baccalaureate certificate in Nanoscience program allows students with STEM bachelor’s degrees to continue their study and understand the fundamental concepts in nanoscience and prepare them for their future careers related to this ever-expanding field.

Program Distinctions

The Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN) is an academic collaboration of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T) and The University of North Carolina Greensboro (UNC Greensboro). Both of these institutions are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).

The Student Experience

JSNN recruits the best and brightest students from a variety of disciplines to conduct advanced research in Nanoengineering and Nanoscience. Students are challenged to choose a research area that is expected to provide significant benefit to mankind. Beyond becoming exceptional researchers, students will develop leadership and communication skills that will make them an exceptional asset in any academic, industry or government organization.

After Graduation

Graduates find careers as applications engineers, optical engineers, research scientists, and technical program managers.
