Master of Science in Nanomedicine (STEM)

Program Overview

Northeastern University's Master of Science in Nanomedicine is an interdisciplinary, industry-aligned professional degree that provides experience-based learning in nanomedicine research, innovation, and commercialization. The program is designed for scientists, engineers, and clinicians working in or seeking nanomedicine-related careers.

The MS in Nanomedicine provides students with a broad understanding of challenges and opportunities in healthcare; hands-on training in nanomedicine materials, methods, and translation strategies; and year-round professional development opportunities that culminate in a full-time co-op experience. Students can specialize their curriculum by selecting a concentration in nanoformulation research; translation and commercialization; or vaccine development.

The degree offers a competitive advantage to those seeking high-demand research and entrepreneurship roles in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, biomedical, and healthcare industries - and students gain a one-of-a-kind opportunity to train for competitive jobs. Through a combination of coursework and real-world projects, our students learn to:

Identify core challenges and opportunities for improving healthcare through nanomedicine.
Explain fundamental concepts of nanomedicine design, synthesis, and characterization.
Summarize and interpret considerations for nanomedicine validation and regulatory approval.
Identify, evaluate, and communicate seminal and emerging findings in nanomedicine.
Function effectively on a team to establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
Analyze and interpret results from experiments and scientific literature.
Apply knowledge, techniques, tools, and skills to support nanomedicine research, development, and commercialization.
Integrate classroom experience with authentic practical experience.

The MS in Nanomedicine is a two-year professional master’s program that can be completed either online or on the Boston campus. International students seeking a U.S.-based co-op are recommended to apply for the full-time Boston program to satisfy U.S. visa requirements.
