Bachelor's Degree
The Master of Science program specializing in space physics examines the physical phenomena of upper atmospheric layers, ionized regions, planetary magnetic fields, and interplanetary space. This curriculum combines fundamental physics coursework with specialized studies in space environment physics, atmospheric electricity, polar light phenomena, and sophisticated plasma dynamics. These specialized classes facilitate collaborative research with Geophysical Institute faculty at UAF, incorporating techniques like computational modeling and temporal data interpretation. Supplementary offerings including energy transmission through radiation and fluid behavior principles broaden the academic scope.
