Master of Science in Physics - Materials Science (Non-Thesis)

Physics and Materials Science is a broad and complex field that uses mathematical models to explain the nature and behavior of all manner of physical systems from the smallest particles inside the nucleus to the entire universe in which we live. The department also has a graduate program at the master and doctoral levels. The master s degree program has concentrations in General Physics Computational Physics and Materials Science. Our Engineering Physics PhD concentration is offered through the Herff College of Engineering PhD program. Sufficient additional courses 12 credit hours in collateral field of study with course numbers 6000 or above to satisfy a minimum of 33 semester hours. These courses must be approved by the graduate advisor.

A bachelor’s degree in physics or closely related discipline and a minimum of 20 semester hours of undergraduate physics, including upper division mechanics, electricity and magnetism, introductory quantum mechanics, and thermal physics, and approved mathematics courses in calculus and differential equations. The student must meet the Graduate School’s Minimum Admission Requirements to Masters Degree Programs.

International applicants are required to provide evidence of meeting the Graduate School’s English Language Proficiency Requirements.
