Northern Arizona University College of Engineering, Forestry & Natural Sciences Applied Physics, M.S. PO Box 6010 Flagstaff, AZ 86011-6010 US   Phone: 1-928-523-2661   At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Master's M.S.-Applied Physics On Campus   The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers a two-year master's degree program for students who wish to pursue non-academic, technical employment in the aerospace, defense and high technology industries, government laboratories, and private research institutes. The program would also provide a basic graduate-level scientific foundation which would facilitate further professional studies in various fields of applied physics, as does a traditional Master's degree. The program is designed to train students in laboratory skills, provide them with computational and computer modeling expertise, develop their competencies in the use and design of modern instrumentation, and provide them with a basic foundation in physics. A capstone to this coursework will consist of an internship or a master's thesis made possible through partnerships with government laboratories, private research institutes, and industrial corporations. Programs of studies center on these emphases defined by elective courses that cross the various science and engineering disciplines and which are selected by the student and advisor from a broad selection of cross-disciplinary options, such as geology, chemistry, engineering, and mathematics. Each student would have the flexibility to design his or her own specific program, focusing on a particular area of specialization and a particular set of skills that will satisfy the his or her career goals.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Successful applicants will usually have a bachelor's degree in Physics, Astronomy, Chemistry, or a related field with a 3.0 GPA or above.
