- Description
- The Master of Science in Lighting allows students from a variety of Science and Engineering disciplines to pursue a multidisciplinary graduate degree related to lighting science, engineering, and practice. Geared toward the needs of professionals either currently working or wishing to pursue careers in the lighting industry or lighting application fields, this one-year, 30-credit-hour degree exposes students to a wide range of topics within lighting including the physics of light, lighting technology, human factors, design, and application. Students concentrate their research or design work in a particular area of interest by pursuing a master’s project. In this master’s thesis/project each student studies a particular area of interest in-depth directly with a faculty adviser. Course content and curriculum in the M.S. in Lighting is continually updated to include the latest advances in lighting research, technology, and application to assure that students receive a “cutting-edge” lighting education.
