The Master of Science (MS) in Physics program provides students with a strong grounding in either theoretical or practical physics, combined with hands-on research opportunities. Research specializations encompass diverse fields such as atomic/molecular physics, computational physics, high-energy physics, condensed matter physics, materials science, nuclear physics, quantum optics, and radiation studies.
To earn the thesis-based MS degree, students must complete at least 32 credit hours of approved coursework and research.
All students complete a core curriculum of graduate-level Physics courses. Those specializing in fundamental physics will take PHYS 601, PHYS 603, PHYS 606, PHYS 607, and PHYS 615. Applied physics students take PHYS 606, PHYS 615, two courses from PHYS 601/603/607, plus one additional approved course (excluding PHYS 666) selected with faculty guidance. Both tracks require thesis research, though a non-thesis alternative is available.
