| About the MNAE Program | - Completion of 30 graduate credit hours with an overall GPA of 3.0
- Coursework must include 12 credit hours in core courses, a minimum of 12 credit hours in the area(s) of specialization, and 6 technical elective credit hours (e.g., in another area of specialization or math).
- A minimum of three courses are required to qualify for a concentration in one of three areas: materials science in nanoengineering, nanoelectronics and nanophotonics, and biomedical sciences in nanoengineering.
- If the student is admitted to the nanoengineering program, a maximum of twelve hours taken as an NDS student from NC State or another institution may apply toward the 30 credit hour requirement. However, courses taken from other universities must be approved.
- No thesis or on-campus residency is required.
- After a student has been admitted and enrolled for the first time, he/she is required to maintain continuous enrollment in each fall and spring semester until completion of the degree program. A student in good academic standing may request a leave of absence for good reasons from the Director of the Graduate Program in Nanoengineering. The leave may not exceed two semesters.
- A six-year time limit for completion is required.

| Degree Requirements | - It is preferable to seek admission to the degree program as soon as possible to assure integration into the advising process. However, a person does not have to be admitted to the MNAE program to enroll in an on-campus or online credit course. Before applying to Graduate School, a qualified individual may enroll in graduate courses as a Non-Degree Studies (NDS) student. The NDS classification is designed for individuals who wish to undertake academic work but who are not currently admitted to a degree program. Those who wish to take only a few graduate courses and not pursue a degree do not need to apply for formal program admission to NC State University. However, students who wish to earn the degree must formally apply for admission to the Graduate School at http://www.ncsu.edu/grad. When completing the online application, please be sure to select the βDistance Trackβ version of the degree if you intend to pursue the degree via the Engineering Online network.
- Online courses are the same as on-campus courses in terms of content, requirements, and academic rigor. On-campus class lectures are captured, digitized, and placed on the Internet for distance students to access at any time and from any location. Students must, however, follow the on-campus class schedule in terms of submitting homework and taking exams. Course assignments, lecture notes, and handouts are made available to distance students on the course website. All in-class exams must be proctored.
