Graduate Physics Programs

Physics is the most fundamental of the natural sciences. It touches on important philosophical questions in its theories of relativity and quantum mechanics, and it uses mathematics, computers, and high technology instrumentation as tools for research. For students who complete a degree in physics, the rewards are a deep understanding of nature, unusual flexibility in the choice of a career, and exceptional strength and stability in the job market.

MS in physics

  • We offer degree tracks for students wishing to learn physics in more depth than typical of an undergraduate degree. Students who graduate with our MS degree may go into graduate school in physics, graduate school in engineering or directly into industry.

MS in medical physics

  • The MS in Medical Physics program offers CAMPEP accredited training for individuals interested in pursuing a career in medical physics. As you gain a solid foundation in advanced physics, you’ll learn how to apply that science to serve the needs of patients and providers in a health care setting.
