Optics and Photonics Courses
Classes on optics, photonics, and closely related topics at Montana State University are offered primarily in the departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Physics, and Chemistry and Biochemistry. Our students have world-class opportunities for participating in design and research projects that greatly apply and extend their classroom and laboratory learning. Every undergraduate student in our programs participate in a meaningful research experience. There are also numerous opportunities for students to interact with the optics and photonics industry.
