Master of Science (M.S.) in Architectural Sciences - Lighting
 
The concentration in lighting within the Master of Science in Architectural Sciences degree allows students from a variety of disciplines to pursue a multidisciplinary graduate degree related to lighting practice. Geared toward the needs of professionals either currently working or wishing to pursue careers in the lighting industry or design fields, this nine-month, 30-credit degree exposes students to a wide range of topics within lighting including the physics of light, lighting technology, human factors, design, and application. It also allows students to concentrate their research or design work in a particular area of interest by pursuing a master's project.
 
The Master of Science in Lighting is the premier master's level graduate degree offered in the field of lighting. This 48-credit, two-year, multidisciplinary degree allows students to work closely with faculty at the LRC to study the various disciplines involved in lighting research. The two- year program allows for a comprehensive, "hands-on" study of lighting which culminates in a thesis project in the second year during which each student studies a particular area of interest in-depth directly with a faculty advisor. Course content and curriculum in the MS in Lighting is continually updated to include the latest advances in lighting research, technology, and design to assure that students receive an education on the "cutting edge" of lighting.

We look forward to your further investigation of the program. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information. Visit the Graduate Admissions website to apply on-line for this Fall. Please submit the application and all supporting credentials by January 15.
