Graduate certificates can be obtained concurrently with a graduate degree or can be obtained by students who have completed an undergraduate degree and apply to Michigan Tech as nondegree graduate students.
- Advanced Electric Power Engineering
The Graduate Certificate in Advanced Electric Power Engineering program provides the student with advanced knowledge of the operation and design of electric power systems. - Nanotechnology
The Graduate Certificate in Nanotechnology recognizes advanced study of scientific, technological, and engineering topics in nanotechnology, including aspects of (i) characterization, (ii) micro- to nano-scale fabrication and control, and (iii) devices, systems and integration. The certificate also requires study of the societal and ethical implications of emerging technologies.
Students interested in nanotechnology will find faculty with similar interests and research opportunities in these programs.- Engineering Physics (PhD)
