GRADUATE OPTICAL
ENGINEERING CURRICULUM
The program of study includes five required
courses in optical engineering, four elective
courses, a thesis project and a comprehensive oral
exam. The thesis project will, as far as possible,
address a "real-world" problem that is of mutual
interest to a company, the student and faculty
adviser. Normally, it takes a student 15 months
(four quarters, plus a summer) to complete the
requirements for the M.S. (optical engineering)
degree.
