The Chemistry Department at Millersville offers a B.S. Chemistry degree with an option in Nanotechnology. The curriculum includes courses that give students a strong background in chemistry and electives in nanotechnology and other sciences. As part of the current program, students spent a semester at Penn State University Park Campus to gain practical experience in nanofabrication and the use of clean room facilities. Nanotechnology - which is the control of materials at very small dimensions to make smaller, cheaper and better products is being adopted in many industries. Upon graduation students can pursue graduate studies in chemistry or materials sciences, or work in industry or government usually in an environment involving interaction with scientists from other disciplines such as biology, physics and engineering.
