<p>I've recently been interested in nanotechnology/engineering but I can't find schools with it. I mean Cornell and Yale schools like that but I simply am not getting into top 40 schools. I'm looking for a public school that's not impossible to get into that has one of these majors. Can anyone help?</p>
<p>nanotechnology is not usually offered as a major since not too many schools have created a separate major for it. There are a lot of individual departments with nanotech research groups and probably some classes in the area. So you can find people working on it in Biology, physics, chemistry, material sciences, material engineering, chemical engineering, biomedical engieering etc.</p>

<p>Most large research universities will have professors working on nanotechnology, and many will have courses in nanotechnology. However I don’t think many offer a “nanotechnology” major. </p>
<p>If you want to do nanotechnology research, look at chemical, mechanical, biological, and materials engineering departments.</p>
<p>Yeah you guys are right that’s what I meant like research in it not exactly a major but yeah I think I would do chemical engineering… any of you have experience or input about chem engineering and how it can relate to nano?</p>
<p>Boston U. has a nanotech institute for one.</p>
<p>The University of Virginia has a [nanotech</a> research center](<a href=“http://www2.dailyprogress.com/news/2011/may/24/uva-unveil-nanotech-research-center-wednesday-ar-1062233/]nanotech”>http://www2.dailyprogress.com/news/2011/may/24/uva-unveil-nanotech-research-center-wednesday-ar-1062233/), and nanotechnology is [taught in the Engineering School.](<a href=“http://www.che.virginia.edu/research/materials.php”>http://www.che.virginia.edu/research/materials.php</a>)</p>
<p>Check out chemistry and material science departments also. They probably house more nanotech research than chemE department does.</p>
