The Department of Physics offers programs leading to MS degrees in Physics. The principal goal of the graduate program in our department is to provide students with strong background in fundamental areas of theoretical and applied physics and to prepare them for careers in industry or in academic institutions for Ph.D. and post-graduate studies. Physics department offers graduate degrees in a wide range of topics in theoretical and applied physics providing advanced level training while introducing, as well as contributing to, the developments taking place at the frontiers of physics. This program provides an advanced project-based education supplemented with research at the frontiers of science while emphasizing nation-wide industrial development. The faculty enjoys a rightful reputation for the level of teaching and research activity at the department. Our self-contained MS program provides a strong background for further graduate studies at advanced levels as well as employment in industry.
