Please let your students know about the following program opportunity.
Please let me know if you would like me to send you hard-copy versions of
this for you to distribute to prospective applicants. Thanks.
The Rochester Institute of Technology offers students a unique
opportunity to earn a Master of Science Degree in Color Science at the
Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science. The Masters of Science
degree program is currently seeking highly qualified applicants for Fall
2000.
Color Science is broadly interdisciplinary, encompassing physics,
chemistry, physiology, statistics, computer science and psychology. This is
the only graduate program in the country devoted to this discipline, and it
is designed for students whose undergraduate majors are in physics,
chemistry, imaging science, computer science, electrical engineering,
experimental psychology, physiology or any discipline pertaining to the
quantitative description of color.
The Masters of Science in Color Science program provides
graduate-level study in both theory and practical application. The program
gives students a broad exposure to the field of color and affords them the
unique opportunity of specializing in an area appropriate for their
background and interest. It consists of required courses and practical
laboratories in color vision, psychophysics, colorimetry, optical radiation
measurements, color appearance, and color modeling, and elective courses
that build on the student's background and interests, and either a research
thesis or graduate project.
Graduates are in high demand (our graduates have a placement rate
of 100%) and have accepted industrial positions in electronic imaging,
color instrumentation, colorant formulation, and basic and applied
research. Companies that have hired our graduates include Hewlett Packard,
Canon, Apple, Eastman Kodak, Xerox, International Paper, Applied Science
Fiction and the Gemological Institute of America.
The degree program in color science revolves around the activities
of the Munsell Color Science Laboratory within the Center for Imaging
Science. The Munsell Laboratory is the preeminent academic laboratory in
the country devoted to color science. Research is currently under way in
color appearance and discrimination psychophysics, imaging
device-independent calibration, color reproduction, high-accuracy
spectrophotometry, spectroradiometry and multi-spectral image analysis.
Scholarships and assistantships are available for qualified
applicants. These include the Macbeth-Engel Fellowship, Grum Memorial
Scholarship, Munsell Color Science Laboratory Assistantship and research
assistantships associated with ongoing grants and contracts. Most of these
require 20 hours of work per week. Funding can consist of up to full
tuition remission and a 12-month stipend. Students receiving fully funded
assistantships tend to have undergraduate cumulative grade point averages
of 3.5 and higher, GRE "quantitative" and "analytical" scores above 700 and
"verbal" above 600. Applicants whose native language is not English have
TOEFL scores above 600 and TSE-A scores above 250. Partial assistantships
are also awarded. Applicants seeking financial assistance from the center
must have all application documents submitted to the Admissions Office by
February 15 for the next academic year.
