Physics

The MS in physics combines rigorous coursework in fundamental areas of physics and modern topics with opportunities in research. With challenging courses in subjects such as electromagnetism, quantum physics, statistical mechanics and more, you'll have the chance to deepen your understanding of the forces that govern the natural world while you collaborate with faculty and peers on research projects.

Graduates from the physics master's program have gone on to work in a variety of fields, including research in the private sector and for government agencies. You'll also be equipped to pursue a career in technological development, working to improve existing technologies and innovate new ones. Alternatively, students often seek opportunities in education at the secondary school level or through museums or planetariums. We can also help you match your curriculum to the needs of an employer so that you'll emerge with experience that is immediately beneficial to your career.
