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 bachelors 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.
