The Master of Science in Engineering Physics program mandates 30 graduate credit hours, which includes 2-4 credits dedicated to thesis research in applied science. Candidates advised by a College of Engineering research director must complete at least 12 physics credits and 9 engineering credits. Those guided by a Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy research director need to fulfill 9 physics credits and 12 engineering credits. Every student is required to take one 3-credit mathematics course at the 4000 level or above. (Important: Graduate credit isn't granted for courses that duplicate undergraduate Engineering Physics requirements.)
Faculty in engineering physics conduct cutting-edge research across multiple fields, including electronic material development, material analysis and device production, scanning probe microscopy, high-field magneto-transport and magneto-optics, laser applications in chemical dynamics, Bose-Einstein condensation in atomic gases, atomic beam etching, microelectronics for particle physics, as well as computational physics and device modeling.
