The Physics's Master's program is suitable as both a means for professional development and preparation for further graduate study. The program offers enough flexibility to allow for completion of the degree in two, three, or four semesters of full time enrollment, depending on a student’s background.
Completion Requirements
A total of 8 credits in 2000 level courses form the main requirement for a ScM degree in Physics, including completion of a Master’s thesis.
Of the eight required courses, four will be selected from the six core courses of the PhD program and one may be Thesis Preparation. Preparation of a Master’s thesis is highly recommended as it forms an important pillar of the professional training. Three additional credits at the 2000 level are required. Up to two of these can be taken in another department with approval of the program director.
Admission Information
Applicants are expected to have a strong background in physics or closely related subjects at the undergraduate level. Two recommendation letters are required. The recommendation letters should be from faculty who are acquainted with the applicant's academic or research qualifications.
