WELCOME

The multidisciplinary nature of imaging science means that your education spans a variety of academic fields. Your first two years will consist of courses in fundamental sciences: physics, chemistry, calculus, as well as statistics, computer science, and liberal arts courses. In hands-on imaging science courses you'll study imaging systems and their applications - learning how images are formed, recorded, manipulated, and transmitted - and the important role that imaging science plays in society.

In your third and fourth years, you'll integrate your understanding of science and math with specialized imaging science courses. You'll acquire the tools to analyze any imaging system from end to end. A senior research project gives you the chance to work one-on-one with a professor of your choice researching an aspect of imaging science or an imaging system that intrigues you. If you are interested in graduate work, you can pursue an MS in imaging science or color science. RIT also offers the only Ph.D. in imaging science in the nation!

The links to the left will let you explore the most recent curriculum established by the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (UGCC) and approved by the entire faculty of the Center for Imaging Science (CIS). The link to the Typical Curriculum describes the traditional path through the undergraduate program while the Alternate Paths link describes some modification that students may find helpful or desirable.

If you have any questions regarding the curriculum or the Imaging Science program in general, please feel free to contact the Center's Undergraduate Coordinator or Academic Coordinator.
