The MS program pushes us to rethink our understanding of nature while equipping students with workplace-relevant, adaptable skills. Students can choose between two program tracks: thesis or non-thesis options.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy provides graduate studies culminating in MS and PhD physics degrees. Research focuses on multiple disciplines including astrophysics, atomic/molecular physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, statistical mechanics, optics, relativity, high energy physics, and mathematical physics. On-campus labs support experimental work in atomic/molecular physics, laser spectroscopy, material synthesis, biophysics, and nanotechnology. The Center for Simulational Physics facilitates computational research in astrophysics, condensed matter physics, material science, and high energy physics. Astronomical studies utilize resources from National Radio/Optical Observatories and NASA, supported by campus computing infrastructure. Applicants seeking financial assistance must submit materials by February 15. Neither master's nor doctoral programs require foreign language proficiency.
