Overview
Duke’s Master of Engineering (MEng) in Photonics and Optical Sciences is an alternative to a traditional master of science program that will deepen your understanding of technology and help you develop the business leadership and management expertise you need to succeed in your career. In the Master of Engineering program, you take specialized technical classes and a core of business leadership and management courses, with a required internship or a project completing the degree.
Duke is home to the Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics (FIP), where researchers are making strides across many areas of photonics and optical science—including making scalable quantum computing a reality, helping doctors do a better job of eradicating cancer, and developing the next generation of high-throughput imaging systems. The research of the FIP faculty is reflected in the courses offered through our Master of Engineering in Photonics and Optical Sciences.
Master of Engineering students train with the very best people in the optics field, and pair that classroom experience with an understanding of core business principles. Our graduates have the technical savvy to move discoveries forward and the business skills to shepherd important advances to realization.
The exceptional resources available through the Fitzpatrick Institute, the Corporate Partnership Program, and the Carolinas Photonics Consortium make Duke a great choice for graduate studies in photonics and optical sciences.
