Technicians in the photonics industry work with products and devices that span a broad range of industries, including manufacturing, communications, defense, homeland security, medical, information technology, energy, environmental monitoring, lighting, displays, entertainment and more. In the Photonics & Laser Technology program at Gallatin College MSU, students are first presented a foundation of courses on electronics before introducing photonics and optics to their plan of study. Along with gaining a strong electronics background, students will spend more than 40% of their time in the lab training on a variety of industrial lasers and optical systems for an easy transition into the photonics workforce.
The Photonics & Laser Technology program is part of Gallatin College MSU, southwest Montana's two-year college.
