The Graduate Physics program is intended to serve the needs of students who wish to enhance their preparation for a doctoral degree in physics or applied science, students who wish to obtain a terminal masters degree in order to work in a physics or engineering related industry, and students who wish to enhance their teaching of physics at the secondary level. To fulfill these purposes, the department offers two degree programs: Master of Science in Applied Physics and Master of Science in Teaching Physics.
The Applied Physics program is built around a core of five graduate courses and a selection of applied courses in the faculty's areas of expertise that are designed to tie into current areas of research and interest within both academia and industry. The Teaching of Physics program emphasizes the concepts and techniques relevant to the teaching of high-school physics.
In order to maximize the availability of our offerings, graduate courses in both programs are taught in the evening.
