Applied Imaging Systems
Minor Adviser: Nitin Sampat
The minor in applied imaging systems offers students an introduction to the business and technology of photographic imaging, primarily as it relates to image output and lab operations.
A minor in applied imaging systems requires the student to take a total of 20 credit hours. The courses include topics that span the components of an imaging system, from capture to print. These include, but are not limited to, digital capture, output technologies, color management, and imaging workflows. Topics are taught from an applied, hands-on perspective. Lab assignments are an integral part of the curriculum, and students will work with a variety of imaging instruments and output devices.
All matriculated RIT undergraduate students are eligible to apply for the minor. Majors within CIAS seeking this minor can substitute courses they already have taken as part of their major (up to a maximum of eight credit hours, assessed on a course-by-course basis in consultation with the minor coordinator).
