About
The graduate certificate program in Optics for Engineering is targeted to train recent graduates or mid-career professionals with a Bachelor of Science degree in physics, chemistry, materials science, electrical or mechanical engineering, or other related fields. The program will provide them with a basic knowledge of optics and lasers so they can apply it to the challenges and demands of advanced technologies that use optical systems. The interdisciplinary program offers students a number of electives to choose from and to tailor their education to their interest.
Requirements

The certificate option consists of one core class, plus two additional electives, for a total of 9 credit hours. Only one course is allowed at the undergraduate level and all other courses must be at the 500 level or higher. PHGN461, Elements of Modern Optics, is considered a prerequisite for this certificate but is offered online in the summer, allowing students to easily fulfill this requirement. Students who have taken the equivalent of PHGN461 at a different institution can request to have this prerequisite waived.
