The Master of Science in Physics with an Astronomy specialization mirrors the standard Physics M.S. program, but features tailored core coursework ideal for students aiming for careers in astronomy education, public outreach, or observatory/lab positions. This track also prepares students for admission to Astronomy Ph.D. programs.
Our department provides both a Master of Science in Physics and an M.S. in Astronomy & Astrophysics. These graduate programs cater to students pursuing deeper expertise in these fields, whether for industry applications, doctoral study preparation, museum/planetarium roles, research institute positions, or meeting teaching credential requirements that mandate a master's degree.
