What does Arizona State University have to offer?

Arizona State University is pleased to announce the Professional Science Master’s (PSM) in Nanoscience degree program. The program at ASU is part of the national PSM organization featured at http://www.sciencemasters.com and is listed at http://www.gradschools.com/ under a wide range of subject categories. It is also part of the Western Region Graduate Program (http://wrgp.wiche.edu) - a program which allows students from most western states to pay fees at in-state tuition rates.

What is the link between business/industry and ASU?

The collaboration between industry and Arizona State University is very robust. The PSM in Nanoscience program is no exception. A PSM Advisory Board that includes representatives from organizations across the region will help maintain the link between the program and industry needs. Additionally, the Advisory Board will foster opportunities for student internships and support and influence the program in other ways beneficial to both parties. With an ever-increasing demand for nanoscience and nanotechnology, the time for professional growth in this area is at hand. Please take time to consider furthering your/your staff’s education and expertise through the Professional Science Master’s in Nanoscience degree at ASU.

What is a Professional Science Masters Degree in Nanoscience?

The program exists as a partnership between the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry to meet the growing need for skilled nanoscience professionals in industry both regionally and nationally. Although the program is ideal for recent science graduates, it is especially tailored for working professionals who wish to retrain into nanoscience, nanotechnology, and related areas.

Why a degree in nanoscience?

Nanoscience is a prime target of both federal funding and high-tech industrial investment. It is expected to have profound impact on a broad range of technologies such as nanoelectronics, biosensors and nanomedicine over the coming decade.

How long does the program take?

The PSM degree consists of a 30 credit accelerated (cohort-based) curriculum. A full time program can be completed in 12 months (including two summer sessions). A part-time two-year program allows prospective students and their employers flexibility in scheduling studies.

Does this program fit my needs?

The PSM program at ASU has three recommended program options: Nanomaterials & Nano-electronics, Biophysics & Bionanotechnology, and Biophysics, Biochemistry, and Sensors. You choose the emphasis that works best for you.
