The Vision Science MSVS program from Pacific University Oregon provides an individual with a comprehensive understanding of vision science, in-depth knowledge in a particular area within the field, and a solid training in vision research methodology.

Quick Facts:

Faculty of Pacific University Oregon College of Optometry have expertise in numerous fields, including contact lenses, optics, ocular disease, binocular vision and learning, sports vision, vision performance, low vision, and neuroanatomy.
The Vision Science degree requirements include five semesters of designated coursework and a written thesis based upon original research. It usually takes about two years of study.
Students who have earned a doctor of optometry degree from an accredited program in the past five years or who are studying in Pacific's OD program may take an abbreviated course of study to complete the MSVS in one year.
Graduates of the MSVS program are prepared to embark on a career in basic and/or applied vision research in an academic or ophthalmic industrial setting, continue working toward a PhD, or as a clinical-trial research consultant for research institutes as well as private sectors.
