Bachelor's Degree
The Master of Science in Physics program caters to students pursuing careers in teaching or research. The department provides three M.S. specialization tracks: applied physics, fundamental physics, and physics education. Students in these concentrations can collaborate with faculty on thesis projects spanning condensed matter physics, particle physics, accelerator physics, and physics education research. Whether seeking teacher certification or advanced academic training, you'll explore matter's core principles and interactions while tailoring your studies to specific interests. The M.S. in physics requires completion of at least 30 credit hours, with all graduate students mandated to enroll in PHYS 798 (Physics Seminar) every term.
