University Of New Mexico - [Unm], New Mexico, Albuquerque - Courses & Fees

Albuquerque, New Mexico

University Public College

The Master of Science (MS) degree program is designed with two distinct objectives:
To prepare a student for the industrial workforce engaged in any area of optics and photonics and
To prepare a student to meet the challenges of a more advanced research career in these areas
The program has three alternate plans under which a student can begin to fulfill his or her career goals within a flexible curriculum. Plans 1 and 2b are designed to launch the student on an industrial R&D career path.
In particular, through its internship credits, Plan 2b allows for private companies, national/federal laboratories, and their contractors to partner with UNM in OSE areas in mutually beneficial ways by means of either a first look at potential recruits or a more interactive career advancement of their current employees. Plan 2a is a purely course-based option.
