Photonics is a growing industry; demand in areas of optical design, instrumentation design and application use, and laser-based communication systems is high, and the current workforce is declining. While a generalized physics degree has allowed some to gain employment, they require significant amounts of specialized education and training to excel. This Certificate of Undergraduate Study (CUGS) allows one to get that education.

Program Requirements


The requirements include the following four courses:

Math & Physics Requirements


Note that the CUGS will require one to have a strong math (12 sh) and physics (16 sh) background, to enter the program.This means the student must have the following course equivalencies in their background:

Program Corequisite


The following course can be considered a co-req for the program so long as it is completed before the student enters Electricity & Magnetism II (PHYS 00321 ).

Total Required Credits for the Program: 13 s.h.
