What is Imaging Science?
Imaging science is the study of the science, computing, and engineering theories behind the technology that goes into creating images, the integration of this technology into imaging systems, and the application of those systems to gather information and solve scientific problems. Imaging science is used to design and develop cutting-edge imaging systems, such as portable eye trackers, virtual reality devices, satellite systems, digital cameras, or anything that involves recording, processing, displaying, or analyzing image data.

Imaging Science Classes
The bachelor's in imaging science includes the study of:
- the physical observables associated with the subject of an image, such as reflected or emitted electromagnetic radiation;
- how those observables are captured by devices using optics and detectors such as satellites, digital cameras, medical imaging devices, and astronomical observatories;
- how the captured observables are processed using computers and specialized software;
- how processed signals are converted into images displayed on paper and electronic devices, and perceived by humans; and
- how image quality is assessed and scientific information is extracted.
Hands-On Experience to Gain Real World Skills
While enrolled in the imaging science degree, you will gain invaluable hands-on experience in a variety of ways:
- The imaging science degree begins with Freshman Imaging Project, a year-long project-based class in which you’ll learn about imaging science while designing and implementing a novel imaging system.
