The M.S. in Photonics program at Rowan University allows students to obtain advanced knowledge in photonics and expand their skill sets in emerging topics of interest. This interdisciplinary program covers a wide variety of topics such as optical design, laser physics, fiber-optics, and electro-optic devices. The program will prepare students with the necessary knowledge and skills for careers in optics & photonics. Thesis and non-thesis (course-only) tracks are available, both of which require a total of 30 credits. For the thesis track, 6 of the 30 credits come from original research that culminates in a thesis. For the non-thesis option, all 30 credits come from coursework.
