Undergraduate Optics Programs
Hello! I'm a Senior in high school with a massive interest in studying Optical Engineering in college once I graduate from school. I'm currently trying to finalize my list of college's I'm applying to for my commonapp application and I just wanted to post here to see what other Optical Engineering programs are out there in the US and to also get some more info on the well established ones.
I already have the University of Arizona & University of Rochester on my list, along with Rose-Hulman and UCF. I also encountered OE programs (ABET Accredited) being hosted at Norfolk State University and Bridgewater State University (In-state for me) but I haven't seen much info on those programs so I'm a bit skeptical on applying to them.
My main plan was to attend Rose-Hulman for their program, but I'm having serious doubts about the student life on-campus and the student demographics. as of right now I'm a bit of coin-toss between UR and UA, with my choice mainly being the distance from home and opportunities.
If anyone has any experience in any of the OE programs (or any engineering program in general!) from the school's I mentioned I'd love to hear your experiences there and any recommendations you have. I'll also keep an eye out for any other OE programs you guys want to give a shout to.
Thanks!
