Imaging Science is the science of the creation and/or utilization of visual representations of measurable properties of persons, objects, or phenomena. It draws upon foundations in the fundamental disciplines of mathematics, physics, chemistry, computation, and biology to formalize the study of images and imaging systems. The Center strives to be foremost in the minds of those interested in education and academic research on techniques, processes, and systems for imaging.

The Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science is an academic unit in the College of Science of the Rochester Institute of Technology.

	Our Bachelor's degree in Imaging Science is a unique ACADEMIC program combining aspects of physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, and more.
