Welcome to Electro-Optics Program at University of Dayton
Get an advanced degree in the growing optics industry. Electro-optics is at the heart of many new technologies - changing possibilities in telecommunications, medicine and manufacturing. Our electro-optics program is in the School of Engineering but lies at the intersection between science and engineering. We feature faculty contribution from the School of Engineering as well as the College of Arts and Science. And as a part of the University of Dayton's electro-optics program, you'll continue to shape the evolving face of technology.
UD's electro-optics graduate program began in 1983. We're one of only seven electro-optics programs in the U.S. and, by committing to electro-optics early, we've become a leader in this technology and closely collaborate with government and industry. These professional partnerships ensure that facilities don't get any better than those available to our students. We have 20 dedicated, state-of-the-art electro-optics laboratories on campus. And our strong ties to the largest Air Force research and development facility and the University of Dayton Research Institute - which conducts over $70 million in annual sponsored research - give our students additional, unparalleled research opportunities to match the challenge of our courses. In 2007, UD worked with the U.S. Air Force and regional businesses to launch the Ladar and Optical Communications Institute on campus, believed to be the nation's first laser radar curriculum.
