Short Courses
Short Courses are designed to increase your knowledge of a specific subject while offering you the experience of experts in industry and academia. Top-quality instructors stay current on the subject matter required to advance your research and career goals. An added benefit of attending a Short Course is the availability of continuing education units (CEUs).
Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
Demonstrate your commitment to continuing education and advancement in the optical field by earning continuing education units (CEUs). The CEU is a nationally recognized unit of measure for continuing education and training programs that meet established criteria. Certificates awarding CEUs are presented to all individuals who complete a Short Course, CEU form and course evaluation. Forms will be available on-site and certificates will be mailed to participants.
