物理学理学硕士

物理系提供的课程可同时获得理学硕士和哲学博士学位。可以选择学位论文或非学位论文来获得硕士学位。大多数物理研究生都获得教学或研究助学金的支持，尽管有些奖学金可用于特别有前途的学生。大多数入学的研究生都有助教金，并在物理入门实验室任教。此后，他们通常会获得外部研究资助的研究助理的支持。入学的研究生通常具有物理本科学位，但是鼓励向具有其他技术学位和良好数学背景的学生进行询问，因为该程序可以弥补背景方面的不足起来。
Physics is devoted to the discovery and exploration of the most basic physical laws governing this universe. As a physics student, you'll attempt to express these laws in their most elegant mathematical form, so that they can be applied to predict the behavior of all forms of matter and energy, in physical systems that range from the subatomic level of quarks, gluons, nuclei and atoms, all the way out to the astrophysical level of planets, stars, black holes, galaxies, and larger scale structures of the universe. Available with either a thesis or non-thesis option. Each option has the same set of core courses, but differ slightly in some requirements. It usually takes four semesters for a student to obtain this degree. M.S. for teachers is also offered. Admission into Master of Science without thesis program does not guarantee automatic admission into PhD program. If, upon successful completion of the MS program, such students decide to continue, their application to PhD program will be considered with general pool of the PhD applicants at the time of the application.<br><br>Credits- 30
