MS in Photonics

Degree Offerings

The MS in Photonics is one of three MS degree programs offered in the ECE Department.  Students can also pursue the MS in Computer Systems Engineering or the MS in Electrical Engineering, both of which accept photonics courses as electives.  ECE offers ABET-accredited Bachelors Degree programs in Electrical Engineering and Computer Systems Engineering.  Ph.D. study leads to the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, the Ph.D. in Computer Engineering, or the interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Systems Engineering.  Students with Photonics interests can also pursue the Ph.D. in related disciplines, e.g. physics, chemistry, or astronomy.

Bachelor of Science study

ABET accredited programs in EE and CSE are offered in a four-year program of study.  Internships, study abroad, and extensive minor programs allow you to create a degree program that fits your career interests.

Master of Science study

In addition to the MS in Photonics our ECE Department offers masters degree work in EE and CSE.  Students lacking the prerequisite background of a typical EE or CSE grduate may want to consider the Late Entry Accelerated Program (LEAP).  LEAP students take initial coursework to fill missing prerequisites, without completing a full BS degree, and then advance to MS study.  A LEAP path for the MS in Photonics has been defined, and is adjusted to each applicants particular background.  See  http://www.bu.edu/eng/leap/

Ph.D. study

Students can continue their study of photonics at the Ph.D. level through the various Ph.D. programs offered in Engineering and the other departments collaborating in the Photonics Center.
