Minor Requirements (Students Majoring in Other Disciplines)
Students majoring in other disciplines must complete 12 units of approved College of Optical Sciences coursework with a grade of B or higher. One College of Optical Sciences faculty member is required to serve on the minor student's oral comprehensive exam committee (faculty members with a joint appointment in the student's major department are highly recommended).
Plans of Study for students wishing to minor in optical sciences must be approved by the Associate Dean of Graduate Academic Affairs. When completing the Plan of Study in GradPath, the student will select Optical Sciences as the minor and Brian Anderson ([email protected]) as the Minor Advisor. In general, approval will be only given to plans in which at least nine of the 12 units are courses for which the College of Optical Sciences is the home department.
