As a Minor

The nanotechnology minor is open to students who have met the following prerequisites.

1.  PHYS130 and PHYS131 OR PHYS170 and PHYS171
2.  CHEM120 and CHEM121
3.  PHAP100

Most students currently majoring in Biology, Biology/Chemistry, Chemistry, Cooperative Engineering, Physics, and Health Sciences would satisfy this precondition.

In addition to the six credits at Lock Haven University, this minor requires a summer to be spent in the Nanofabrication facility at Penn State University, taking 18 credits cross listed with LHU, learning the techniques and instrumentation in a hands-on industrial/research setting.
