A Career in Nanotechnology "I have been looking into nanotechnology with much interest lately. Could you please tell me a few majors which would prepare me for a career in this area? Thank you." Responses were sent from: Union College, and Johns Hopkins University. Member Institution and Association Answers:

From Union College: It sounds like you are interested in Engineering and computers. Union College does offer courses in Nanotechnology through our converging technologies program, which has grown out of our engineering program. I would think you should look for a college that has a strong engineering program. Dianne Crozier Union College Schenectady, New York crozierd@union.edu 518-388-6112

From Johns Hopkins University: Johns Hopkins does not offer a specific major in nanotechnology, but we do have a wide variety of majors that offer opportunities to study and work in this field. We have the Biomaterials, Biomechanics, and Material Science majors in the engineering school all of which deal with different aspects of nanotechnology. We also have the Physics and Astronomy major in the school of arts and science which can also deal with nanotechnology. For further information on these majors refer to our admissions website www.jhu.edu/~admis. Stacy C. Hernandez Office of Undergraduate Admissions Johns Hopkins University 140 Garland Hall/3400 N.
