Rochester Institute of Technology

The Carlson Center for Imaging Science is dedicated to producing the next generation of researchers and innovators to apply imaging science in research, environmental service, artificial intelligence, aerospace, and national security. From their very first day, our undergraduate students engage in hands-on initiatives like the Freshman Imaging Project, gaining exposure to diverse areas of imaging science research. High school students can also get a head start through our Imaging Science Summer Internship, a paid opportunity to work alongside researchers on real-world projects.

Our strong industry partnerships, including the RIT Imaging Science Industrial Associates Program, further enhance innovation and provide students with valuable opportunities for collaboration and professional growth. As one of RIT’s New Economy Majors—dynamic, interdisciplinary, and forward-thinking—Imaging Science ensures favorable outcomes and adapts to the ever-evolving demands of the modern economy.
