Optics/Optical Engineering programs

Graduate School
1

<p>What are some good optics/optical engineering graduate programs? It seems like the usual suspects don’t have dedicated optics departments.</p>

<p>Also, what kind of background do optics people usually have before undergrad? EE? Physics? Mat Sci? I imagine that most optics grad students don’t have optics bachelor’s degrees.</p>

<p>Thanks–</p>

<p>Here is a link from a quick google search that lists 23 optics programs: [Optics</a> Graduate Programs in United States U.S.A.](<a href=“http://programs.gradschools.com/usa/optics.html]Optics”>http://programs.gradschools.com/usa/optics.html)</p>

<p>I also happen to know that the University of Central Florida in Orlando has a pretty decent Optics program through CREOL (The Center for Research and Education in Optics and Lasers (CREOL))</p>

<p>No clue about the second part of your question.:slight_smile: Good luck.</p>
