Physics, M.S.
The Physics Department offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science (M.S.) in Physics and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Physics. In addition to the general requirements of the Graduate School, the requirements for admission to graduate standing in physics are:
A bachelor's degree from an institution offering an approved major in Physics (as defined by the American Institute of Physics).
Completion of regular junior-senior courses in mechanics, optics, electricity and magnetism, thermal physics and modern physics.
An average grade of 3.0 or better in all physics and mathematics courses, and an overall average of 3.0 or better in all undergraduate courses.
Applicants whose records indicate a deficiency in any of the requirements listed above may be admitted on a probationary basis and be required to take certain undergraduate courses (which do not carry graduate credit). All students working toward an advanced degree in physics must also satisfy the general requirements of the Graduate School.
