Requirements
The Master of Science (MS) in Imaging Science requires the completion of 30 credit units, including 13 credit units from the core list (two mathematics and physics courses, one seminar course, and one computation and one application course each selected from the list below) and the remaining credits from the electives list.
24 of the 30 credits must be at the 5000 level or above; up to 6 of the 30 credits can be taken at the 4000 level.
Candidates must accumulate a total of 30 graduate credits, have a cumulative grade point average of 2.7 or better, and satisfy the core curriculum requirements. Courses must be taken for a grade (i.e., not Pass/No Pass).
Courses
Required Core Imaging Science Courses (13 units)
Mathematics and Physics of Imaging Modalities Courses (6 units)
Students choose two of the following courses:
| Code | Title | Units |
|---|---|---|
| BME 5700 | Mathematics of Imaging Science | 3 |
| BME 5910 | Biomedical Optics I: Principles | 3 |
| BME 5940 | Ultrasound Imaging | 3 |
| ESE 5820 | Fundamentals and Applications of Modern Optical Imaging | 3 |
| ESE 5890 | Biological Imaging Technology | 3 |
Computational Imaging Courses (3 units)
Students choose one of the following:
| Code | Title | Units |
|---|---|---|
| CSE 4107 | Introduction to Machine Learning * | 3 |
| CSE 5105 | Bayesian Methods in Machine Learning | 3 |
| CSE 5107 | Machine Learning | 3 |
| ESE 4150 | Optimization | 3 |
| ESE 4170 | Introduction to Machine Learning and Pattern Classification * | 3 |
| ESE 5932 | Computational Methods for Imaging Science | 3 |
- *
Due to the partial overlap between CSE 4107 Introduction to Machine Learning and ESE 4170 Introduction to Machine Learning and Pattern Classification, it is recommended that students take only one, as only one of these courses can count toward the curriculum requirements.
Imaging Applications Courses (3 units)
Students choose one of the following:

Seminar Course (1 unit)
Students must complete the following course:
| Code | Title | Units |
|---|---|---|
| ESE 5981 | Seminar in Imaging Science and Engineering | 1 |
