The Nanoscience Technology program is a collaborative effort between North Dakota State College of Science and Minnesota State Community and Technical College-Moorhead. Students may enroll and earn a degree through either college.
The first two semesters may be taken at the NDSCS campus in Wahpeton or at the MSCTC campus in Moorhead. Many of the classes are also available online. The following summer, fall and spring semesters primarily consist of nanoscience classes taught at the Skills and Technology Training Center in Fargo.

The suggested plan of study also includes a summer session that will focus on laboratory instrumentation techniques. The curriculum includes internships during three of the five semesters. Internships will be conducted at various companies in the Red River Valley and surrounding area. Temporary relocation and/or travel to an internship site may be required in certain circumstances. Students must demonstrate subject matter competency and meet established academic standards prior to participating in internships.

Nanoscience is an emerging technology that studies the composition, structure, properties and behavior of material at the molecular and atomic level. Research, observation, measurement and manipulation occur in the nanometer range; a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter.
Nanotechnicians work in a wide variety of industries including biomedicine/biotech, microelectronics/microfabrication (RFID), materials/coatings/polymers, agriculture production, food processing/value added agriculture, environmental analysis/bio-remediation and energy (H-fuel cells/biomass/solar/wind).
