MSc u Biophotonics

The MS in Biophotonics at Tufts School of Engineering provides a broad curriculum that encompasses the design, engineering, and use of optical tools for diagnostics and therapeutics, advanced microscopes, and more.

The program is administered by the Department of Biomedical Engineering with additional support from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Data Intensive Studies Center.

Program Highlights

Students in the MS in Biophotonics program experience an academic career distinguished by close faculty interactions that will propel them from graduate study to their future. Choose between a thesis track or a course-based track which includes a hands-on project or internship. Courses provide background on optical spectroscopy and imaging methods, photonic devices and sensors, as well as related analysis approaches, including machine learning-based methods.

Master's degrees at Tufts School of Engineering require a minimum of 30 credits and the fulfillment of at least 10 courses at the 100-level or above with grades of S (satisfactory) or at least a B-.

About Tufts School of Engineering

Tufts' engineering programs challenge the traditional boundaries of academic disciplines, research, and the roles of engineers in our increasingly interconnected global community. Every day, Tufts researchers are developing new tools to improve medical diagnosis and treatment; novel materials for a greener future; smarter, more powerful computers; and innovative ways to educate the engineers of tomorrow. Master's and doctoral programs in six academic departments, as well as the M.S. in Engineering Management, offered through Tufts Gordon Institute, give engineering students the right mix of specialization and interdisciplinary exploration.
