University of California, Davis
Optical Science and Engineering B.S.

Light - seemingly one of the simplest and most ubiquitous entities in nature - is the operating force of some of modern technology's most advanced and delicate offerings. Lasers that can perform precise surgery or slice through sheet metal, fiber-optic cables that carry vast loads of data around the world in the blink of an eye and missile guidance systems that can track a target from thousands of miles away all rely on optical science and engineering for their design and function. Our optical science and engineering program, one of the few of its kind in the nation, will prepare you for a rewarding career or graduate study in this fast-moving and exciting field.
