Confused regarding Upenn admit

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hello..this is my first post here, so please pardon me if it does not abide by the forum rules.
I am a Mechanical engineer and I have secured admission to MSE Nanotechnology at Upenn. Now, I like the course but I am not sure regarding the job prospects after my graduate degree. I have applied to other courses in other universities as well, but none of them are as big as Upenn, the closest being MS Industrial at Purdue ( which I am not very hopeful about). I have a few queries regarding my admit, I hope seniors can help :</p>

<ol>
<li>How good is a degree from Upenn? Does it make it easier to get a job?</li>
<li>What is the scope of Nanotech program in general?</li>
<li>Once at Penn can I change my majors to say MSE Mechanical or MSE Material Science?</li>
</ol>

<p>Any help will be greatly appreciated</p>

<p>Generally, admission to a master’s degree program is major-specific. If you wish to change specializations, you will have to check with the department for their policies in that regard.</p>

<p>Penn is one of the top universities in the United States. What specifically are you asking about?</p>
