• Foundational Principles courses: 20 credits of N SCI/N ENG 114 (or T SCI/T ENH 114), 115, 116, 117, 126, 127, 128, 129, and 140 (or T SCI/T ENH 140), 141. N SCI 128/129 and 140/141 may be replaced by N SCI 133/134 and 135/136 for students pursuing a Nanobioscience concentration.
• Core Competencies courses: 21 credits of N SCI 220 (or T SCI 220), 230 (or T SCI 230), 300, 305, 350, 360, and 410. 
• Concentrations courses: 12 credits of Nanoscale Science courses from 1 of the following concentration areas:

• Capstone Undergraduate Research/Design courses: 9 credits of N SCI 390X, 490, 492W.
• 9 credits of 400-level Nanoscale Engineering or Science topical elective courses. 
• 6 credits of Nanotechnology survey courses from N ENG/N SCI 101-104. 
• 6 credits of 200-level Nanoscale Science and Technology Skills electives. 
• 1 credit of a senior seminar courses (N SCI 498 or equivalent). 
• 18 credits of Mathematics: A MAT 112, 113, 214, 220, and 314. Students may also substitute the appropriate honors calculus courses offered by the Department of Mathematics that meet the requirements of their major.

The total credit for the major is 102 credits. With the remaining General Education requirements not already completed within the major, the total for the degree program could total 132 credit hours, but by careful choice of General Education requirements, the program can be completed within the 120 credits required for graduation from the University.
