Cancer Nanotechnology Graduate Concentration
for the graduate concentration in Cancer Nanotechnology
The Cancer Nanotechnology Concentration prepares students for collaborative research across the disciplines of engineering, biology, and the sciences. Students must be enrolled in a graduate degree program:
- Electrical & Computer Engineering, MS
- Electrical & Computer Engineering, PhD
- Materials Engineering, MEng
- Materials Science & Engineering, MS
- Materials Science & Engineering, PhD
- Mechanical Engineering, MS
- Mechanical Engineering, MEng
- Mechanical Engineering, PhD
- Theoretical & Applied Mechanics, MS
- Theoretical & Applied Mechanics, PhD
The Cancer Nanotechnology Concentration requires students to earn a B or better in each concentration course. Students must complete 12 credit hours, including at least one core Cancer course and one core Nanotechnology course. Participants may take a second core Cancer course and/or a second core Nanotechnology course as an elective. Fulfillment of these requirements will be monitored by the graduate coordinator in Bioengineering.

| Requirement | Description |
|---|---|
| Courses taken toward this concentration will count toward the student's graduate degree. | |
| Students must notify their department of their plan to pursue this concentration. | |
| When choosing courses, students must work directly with their department to ensure that all degree requirements will be met. | |
| Note that students who intend to complete both a Biomechanics Concentration and a Cancer Nanotechnology Concentration may only overlap one course between the two concentrations. |
