Overview

A solid physics foundation combined with extensive, hands-on training in state-of-the-art nanofabrication and characterization facilities prepares students for careers in the local high-tech industry, science education or advanced studies. Students are engaged in research and gain superior graduate education with individual faculty attention and mentoring. Students complete a 30-hour thesis program focusing on research in experimental condensed matter physics, physics education or astronomy. Students may also opt for the 36-hour-non-thesis program. Both options require core courses and electives educating students in advanced physics through a rigorous curriculum that includes cutting-edge, hands-on training. Additionally, the thesis option includes a materials physics concentration, which offers an exceptional opportunity for research in nanotechnology and applied physics. The Department of Physics strives to provide an exciting, engaging, and rigorous educational environment that stresses relevant research, classroom learning, and extensive training to prepare students for careers in industry, education, or further research. With an emphasis on graduate research, the department has an effective curriculum that provides high-quality hands-on training in state-of-the-art research facilities. The department provides a meaningful educational experience facilitated by dedicated faculty who work closely with students. Most graduate students are supported as instructional or research assistants.
