Chemistry, B.S. - Nanotechnology Option
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.

THIS BLOCK IS NOT REQUIRED FOR DEGREE COMPLETION. The following block contains courses which are required/recommended to students opting for ACS Certification. While not required, an introductory Economics course, elementary German or Russian (GERM/RUSS 101 and 102) are recommended for inclusion in the core Liberal Arts core requirements for general education. Students must take a minimum of two hours of CHEM 489, 498, or 499 (Research) under Chemistry Electives. This means you will need a total of 3 credits in CHEM 489, 498 or 499.
