Concentrations The curriculum requires 32 credits of study, distributed among core Photonics courses, technical electives, and independent learning in a thesis or project option. It can be completed in one year of full-time study, but most students, especially those receiving graduate teaching fellowship (GTF) or research assistant (RA) support, will take two or more years. The curriculum is intended to provide a high degree of flexibility, allowing the student to tailor his/her studies to a wide range of professional objectives. Core courses cover three concentration areas: lasers and applications, fiber optics and optical communications, and photonic materials and devices. Students will concentrate on one area (16 credits) and must take at least two courses (8 credits) in a second area (the ‘breadth’ requirement). At least 4 credits of thesis or project are required. The remaining credits may be taken from the photonics courses, from approved technical electives, or as additional thesis or project registration. At least two courses (8 credits) must be at the 700 level.
