Is the final decision on an application made by the admissions team or the program coordinator?

Khalifah, the decisions are made by the admissions review team(s) for each program.

Do you have any idea when the master in Nanotechnology program was offered at Penn? And why there is no a similar phd program?
AvatarWill Fenton, Asst Dir
10:49
Khalifah, I don't know exactly, but we believe at least 10 years. And it is considered a terminal degree at this point, hence why there is no specific PhD offered here.

Konyin, it's been a program for at least 10 years. We're not sure of the exact start date.
