One-year Program

The certificate program in optical fabrication was designed by MCC's Optical Systems Technology Department in conjunction with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and APOMA (American Precision Optics Manufacturers Association). This hands-on program, which can be completed in one year, prepares students for employment in the optical fabrication industry, manufacturing precision lens components and assemblies. There is a tremendous need for skilled optics craftspeople both locally and nationally, and this certificate program was specifically designed to address that need. Courses completed for the certificate can be applied toward both two-year A.A.S. degrees in optical systems programs at MCC as well.
