MSU adds new master’s degree, minor in laser and imaging optics

Starting next fall, Montana State University will offer a master’s degree and a minor in optics and photonics, emphasizing one of the university’s strengths.

Approved Friday by the Montana Board of Regents, the programs will build on Bozeman’s growing reputation as a center of creativity and commercialization in the field of laser and imaging optics.

The new graduate program would attract graduate students who are looking for that next step in laser and imaging optics and photonics and would otherwise not come to MSU, said Joseph Shaw, professor in electrical and computer engineering and director of the Optical Technology Center.
