Requirements
Students in the Photonic Science and Engineering program may take up to 9 credit hours of master’s level coursework and use those classes to satisfy both PSE requirements and master’s track coursework.
- Have and maintain a UCF and Major GPA of at least 3.5
- Complete OSE 3052(L) Foundation of Photonics + Lab
- Complete prerequisites required for courses being substituted
Some classes will count toward the restricted elective requirements (see PSE course requirements) while others can count as a substitution for a required course in the undergraduate program.
