Welcome to CREOL, The College of Optics and Photonics.
We believe light is the gateway to technological advances and CREOL holds the key. CREOL enjoys the benefits and resources of being part of a large, metropolitan research university while maintaining the personal attention and opportunities of a small college. Your professors will know you by name and you will gain experience in one of the most robust research hubs on campus and within Florida.
