NC State University Launches New M.S. in Wide Bandgap Semiconductors

Electronics

Starting this fall, NC State University’s College of Engineering will offer a first-of-its-kind master’s degree in wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors.

The M.S. in WBG semiconductors — jointly offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering — will be offered in a hybrid format, with in-person and online components.

Built on NC State’s national leadership in semiconductor research, the brand-new program will prepare students for careers in the rapidly expanding semiconductor, defense and advanced manufacturing sectors. Coursework will cover materials, processes and devices at the core of WBG technologies.
