Vision science is multidisciplinary, and can include the study of biochemistry, biophysics, engineering, epidemiology, molecular biology, cell biology, neuroscience, optics, ophthalmology, optometry, pathology, physiology, psychology, statistics, and any other discipline that relates to the eye and its problems.
The Master of Science in Vision Science builds a strong basis for understanding the background of modern vision science. We have two types of M.S. degree programs—thesis-based and non-thesis-based. The M.S. degree is not required for application to the Ph.D. program in Vision Science.
Early in the program, students participate in targeted research under the direction of their faculty advisor. The advisor and a committee guide research toward the thesis. At least three members of the graduate faculty give the completed thesis final approval.
Please email us with your questions about the M.S. and Ph.D. program in Vision Science. We'll get back to you as soon as we can with answers to your questions.
