This paper reviews the new Electro-Optics (EO) program at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), launched in August 2002 . The Electro-Optics (EO) degree program is designed to train a wide range of students for entry into the rapidly-evolving photonics workforce by offering both 2- year AAS/AS and 4-year BS degree. The more recent developments of the program are also outlined, including the high school outreach and visitation program, the proposed 2+2+2 educational pathway to promote early participation of bright students in photonics-related disciplines, as well as the integration of nanotechnology into the core EO curriculum.
