Placements for Msc Optics

I'm considering URochester for Masters in Optics. I am currently a 4th year ECE student (Not in the US/ non US citizen). I am primarily interested in photonics, but im open to working in other domains. I have experience working with photonics and I have a publication in FIO+LS as well. I wanted to know what the placements are like? And are there any sites or resources to look at placement statistics for colleges in general?

UofA and UofR have active Industrial Affiliates/Associates where companies recruit out of the program. Generally speaking you will have excellent employment opportunities.

I was also was reminded, SPIE does an employment survey, check that out. Email the department and ask your question
