Who is this degree program designed for?

This program is specifically tailored for working professionals who wish to retrain into nanoscience, nanotechnology and nanomedicine, as well as for students with traditional bachelor's and master's degrees. 

Do you accept international applicants?

All prospective International teaching assistants are required to take a SPEAK test upon arrival at ASU, and must attain a score of 55 or better. Students may repeat the SPEAK test to improve their scores, and are encouraged to do so after receiving intensive language training. TA appointments are not renewed beyond the first year without a SPEAK score of 55 or better.

An admissions committee assesses a variety of factors to determine admission offers. Our goal is to build a balanced cohort that satisfies departmental needs as well as diversity in gender, ethnicity, geographic origin and more. We strive to admit applicants who we believe will excel in all aspects of graduate work including coursework, comprehensive and qualifying exams, and most importantly independent research.
