Degree Programs

Optical Science and Engineering Program

The OPSE program is a collection of multi-disciplinary applied optical sciences and engineering courses are being offered at NJIT which:

  1. Provide a unified, multi-departmental optical science/ engineering curriculum and
  2. Emphasize optics courses which will provide laboratory and classroom training to undergraduate and graduate students in emerging areas of industrial and technological importance.

The program focuses on the collective strengths of the Applied Physics Degree Program (offered through the Physics Department) and the Engineering college: Environmental monitoring and detection of pollutants, biophotonics, industrial process monitoring, ultrafast optics and optoelectronics.
