- Description
- RIT’s master's degree in imaging science is geared toward advancing and broadening the skills of professionals who are working and conducting research in the many industries that use various imaging modalities to research and solve problems in engineering and science. This field integrates engineering, math, physics, computer science, and psychology to understand and develop imaging systems and technology. The curriculum emphasizes a systems approach to the study of imaging science. You may choose two courses from a variety of tracks, including digital image processing, computer vision, electro-optical imaging systems, remote sensing, color imaging, optics, hard copy materials and processes, and nanoimaging. You may also create a custom track to meet your personal, professional, and educational goals. You may choose to complete either a research thesis or a project and a paper in the non-thesis option. The research thesis is based on experimental evidence obtained by the student in an appropriate field, as arranged between the student and their advisor. The four required research credits may be fulfilled by performing experiments in the university’s laboratories or conducting research at your place of employment. Students with demonstrated practical or research experience, approved by the graduate program coordinator, may choose the graduate project option (3 credit hours). This option takes the form of a systems project course. The degree may be completed on-campus or online, and on a full or part-time basis.
