MSc in Physics in Bethlehem United States | Lehigh University

The graduate program in our department primarily focuses on preparing students for a Ph.D. Students beginning with a bachelor's degree typically obtain their Master's within three semesters and one summer. While some tailor their Master's studies toward specific specializations for immediate career readiness, others view it as a foundational step toward their Ph.D. To earn the Master's degree, candidates must complete either a research project (Physics 491) or a thesis. The program mandates 30 credit hours of coursework, which includes either three credits for a research project or six credits for thesis research.
