MCC’s Optical Systems Technology program prepares students for
optics and photonics careers through hands-on, remote, online, and hybrid
course options that can lead to a stackable one-year Certificate, two-year AAS
Degree, and pathways to bachelor’s degrees at select universities. The
program is currently recruiting students of all ages who may have interests in
science or technology, working with their hands, making things, solving
problems, and improving people’s lives. To learn more about MCC’s
