物理学理学硕士

该系的研究生课程主要旨在获得博士学位。大多数拥有学士学位的学生在三个学期和一个夏天后可获得硕士学位。这些学生中的一些人以专业化的方式构建了硕士课程，以便他们在完成课程后为就业做好准备，而其他学生则将硕士课程视为博士学位课程核心课程的一部分。学生必须从事研究项目（物理学491）或硕士学位论文。硕士学位课程需要30个学时，其中包括研究项目的3个学分或硕士学位论文的6个学分。
The department's graduate program is designed mainly to lead to a Ph D degree. Most students who enter with a bachelor's degree earn a Master's degree after three semesters and one summer. Some of these students have structured their Master's program with some specialization so that they are prepared for employment when they complete the program, but others treat the Master's program as just part of the core program for the Ph D program. The student must do either a research project (Physics 491) or a Master's thesis for the Master's degree. The Master's Program requires 30 credit hours of course work (including the three credits of a research project or six credits on Master's Thesis research).
