I think having a career in nanotechnology might be the right choice. However, my school doesn't offer a concentration in nanotechnology unless you are in chemistry. I would like to know some undergraduate courses that would be helpful to me if I decided to go on to get a masters in nanotechnology.

Quantum mechanics courses in physics would be useful -- as there are observable quantum effects in things like nanoparticles. Solid-state physics would also be good.
