INTRODUCTION COURSE OVERVIEW • This course deals with various topics in light, color, and life, and teaches students certain expertise in the physical properties of light, the accommodation of light in biological phenomena and medical applications, and the dynamic ways that light is experienced through color in everyday life. Through the convergence of diverse knowledge, creative research topics will be explored and interdisciplinary inquires that show most potential and professionalism will be further studied.
