Program Description:

The Department of Physics offers two programs of graduate study leading either to the Master of Science or to the Master of Science in Teaching degrees. The program leading to the Master of Science degree is a research master's program with a required thesis and prepares graduates for employment in private or government laboratories or for further graduate work. This program includes a medical physics concentration, which deals with both diagnostic (radiology, magnetic resonance, and positron emission) and therapeutic (radiation oncology) aspects. The Master of Science in Teaching program is designed to enable high school physics teachers to upgrade their knowledge of physics by providing a thorough treatment of those areas of physics that form the basis of our modern knowledge.
