U. Arizona Launches Optical Sciences Distance Program

TUCSON, Ariz., July 5 -- A new era in post-baccalaureate education will debut at the University of Arizona’s Optical Sciences Center with a program of video classes leading to a certificate: the Professional Graduate Certificate in Optical Sciences.

Because there is no University of Arizona residency requirement, the certificate program offers working professionals the opportunity to earn a post-baccalaureate certificate in optics entirely by distance learning.

The courses are taught by faculty members at the Optical Sciences Center and are the same courses offered to MS and PhD degree candidates in residency at the University of Arizona’s Optical Sciences Center.

A bachelor's degree is required for admission to the certificate program. Students apply for admission as graduate non-degree status students.
