Nanoscience

The M.S. Program in Nanoscience is ideal for students who want to enter the workforce in nanoscience as well as for students who wish to enter doctoral programs.

This program offers students unique opportunities to conduct leading-edge research in the field at one of 11 CUNY campuses. Students have access to the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC),  which includes state-of-the-art laboratories, research facilities, and a 5,000-square-foot nanofabrication facility. This program positions students for employment in the rapidly expanding nanoscience sector that includes electronics/semiconductors, textiles, medical diagnostics, and energy, as well as biotechnology, food science, forensics, the environment, and national security. Graduates will also be well-positioned to secure admission to competitive doctoral programs.

No GRE Required

There is no minimum GRE score; instead, students must demonstrate proficiency in quantitative skills and reasoning. Applicants should have a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from a four-year accredited university with a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale in subject-related courses.

Affordable Tuition

Master’s students at the Graduate Center who are residents of New York State and registered for a minimum of 12 credits per semester will pay a flat fee for tuition. Out-of-state residents and students taking less than 12 credits will be charged on a per-credit basis.

Flexible Scheduling

Our flexible class schedule allows students to work part-time while they complete their master’s degree.
