| M.S. Engineering - Optical Engineering |
Students entering Norfolk State University for the Master's of Science in Optical Engineering are required to successfully
complete a graduate core curriculum. Student's may choose a master's degree program with or without the thesis option.
If a student chooses to complete the M.S. degree without a thesis, 31 semester hours of course work must be completed. If a
student chooses to completed the M.S. degree with a thesis, then the student must complete 25 credit hours of course work and
six hours devoted to thesis research. Once the core graduate courses are successfully completed, a student may select from the
optical materials track and/or the optoelectronics track to complete the master's degree in Optical Engineering. |
