The Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering are the colleges of nanotechnology at the SUNY Polytechnic Institute campus in Albany, New York. Founded in 2004 and formerly a component of the University at Albany, the colleges underwent rapid expansion in the late-2000s and early-2010s before merging with the SUNY Institute of Technology in 2014. As two of five colleges within SUNY Poly, they are the first colleges in the United States devoted to nanotechnology.
The Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering were originally established as the School of Nanosciences and Nanoengineering at the University at Albany in 2001. CNSE was accredited as the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering of the University at Albany in 2004, and in December of that year, awarded its first Ph.D. degrees in nanoscience. In July 2013, SUNY's Board of Trustees approved a memorandum that led to the separation of CNSE from the University at Albany and included the creation of a new degree-granting structure for the NanoCollege. This was followed by the merger of the SUNY Institute of Technology (SUNYIT) with CNSE in September 2014 to create SUNY Polytechnic Institute. In January 2015, Dr. Alain Kaloyeros was appointed by the SUNY Board of Trustees as the President of SUNY Poly. In September 2016, Kaloyeros was charged with felony bid rigging and subsequently suspended from his job as the Institute's President. In November 2016, Dr. Bahgat Sammakia was named interim President of SUNY Polytechnic Institute by the SUNY Board of Trustees.
CNSE offers degree programs leading to the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Nanoscale Engineering and Nanoscale Science, the Master of Science (M.S.) degree in either Nanoscale Science or Nanoscale Engineering, and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in either Nanoscale Science or Nanoscale Engineering. CNSE also offers a combined Masters of Science and Masters of Business Administration (M.S.-MBA) degree, the "Nano+MBA," with the ability to earn the M.S. degree in either Nanoscale Science or Nanoscale Engineering, or enroll in the nanotechnology elective track while participating in UAlbany's Evening MBA program. Additionally, CNSE and SUNY Downstate Medical Center offer a joint M.D. and Ph.D. program. The program allows students to earn an M.D. in Medicine and a Ph.D. in Nanoscale Science or Engineering. In 2010, CNSE became the first college in the U.S. to launch a comprehensive baccalaureate program in Nanoscale Engineering and Nanoscale Science. Through the Spring 2013 semester, CNSE has 191 alumni.
