物理学理学硕士

物理与天文学系提供理学硕士学位和哲学博士学位的物理学学位。硕士研究生课程通常需要两年时间，是围绕原始调查制定的，研究结果以论文的形式提出。理科硕士课程至少需要30个学期的学期，其中24个专门用于物理以及其他科学，数学和工程学等相关领域的课程。但是，必须提供每年提供的以下课程或同等课程：PHY 501力学，PHY 502电动力学I和PHY 503量子力学I。
The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers Physics degrees in Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. The program of graduate study for the master's degree, which normally requires two years, is developed around an original investigation, the results of which are presented as a thesis. Of the minimum of 30 semester hours required for the Master of Science degree, 24 are devoted to courses in physics and such allied fields as other sciences, mathematics, and engineering. However, the following courses or their equivalents, which are offered every year, must be included: PHY 501 Mechanics, PHY 502 Electrodynamics I, and PHY 503 Quantum Mechanics I. The Master of Science program emphasizes both the understanding of physical phenomena and the development of physical measurement and research techniques. Specialized courses in the student's research interest and allied fields precede a written thesis. M.S. degree candidates must pass an oral exam on the thesis work.
