Strong Program in Nanotechnology?

<p>Hi, I am very passionate about quantum physics and the possibilities of nanotechnology. </p>

<p>I know I know that you should not pick a college based on what you think you want to do because the statistics on changing your major but I still want a school that has strong programs in these fields. Either that or I am thinking about material science / engineering. </p>

<p>Don't be scared to post the selective schools.
Right now I am considering MIT, Cornell, University of Waterloo, Stevens Institute of Technology. Maybe Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, NYU Poly.</p>

<p>When I visited Cornell, I spoke with an Undergraduate Admissions Director at the College of Engineering. She told me about how huge nanotechnology is at the university, and even though they don't have a major for it specifically, they incorporate it into all their majors.</p>

<p>At Stevens, I believe you can go into mechanical engineering and then concentrate in nanotechnology. Or you could go the engineering physics track and that would go into the field of quantum and nanotech too.</p>

<p>Any suggestions/ comments are welcomed! Thank you :)</p>

<p>Nanotechnology is really ambiguous term. Nanochemistry, nanomaterials, nanomedicine, nanophotonics are all some applications. The path that you need to take to do research in one of those field can vary by quite a bit. </p>

<p>Don’t worry too much about the ‘nanotechnology’ at any particular school. Get an engineering degree (really anything science related), then go to graduate school to pursue your passions 4-5 years from now.</p>

<p>Okay thanks for the advice :)</p>
