About Master of Science - Physics

The department of physics offers programs leading to both the master of science and doctor of philosophy degrees. The Master of Science - Physics can be earned with either a thesis or non-thesis option.

Most physics graduate students are supported by teaching or research assistantships, although some fellowships are available for exceptionally promising students. Most new graduate students start as teaching assistants in the introductory physics laboratory. Later, they are often supported as research assistants on external research grants.

Entering graduate students usually have a physics undergraduate degree; however inquiries from those with other technical degrees and a good mathematics background are encouraged, since the program allows minor background deficiencies to be made up.

The department's research emphasis includes three areas of physics: condensed matter and materials physics; atomic, molecular, and optical physics; as well as astrophysics. Experimental and theoretical research opportunities are available in each of these areas. Graduate students in the department work with faculty on a wide range of problems, including the characterization of magnetic materials, predicting the properties of quantum and classical phase transitions, investigating electrical and thermal transport, determining electron-atom scattering events, computing the electronic structure of new materials, measuring and imaging ion-atom collisions, growing and characterizing exotic quantum materials, studying wave propagation in complex media, exploring quantum electrodynamics’ descriptions of few-electron atoms and ions, studying gravitational waves emitted by black holes and neutron stars; and exploring the expansion history of the universe.
