理学硕士（物理学）（非论文选修）

扎实的物理基础加上广泛的动手实践培训，可提供最先进的纳米加工和表征设施，为学生在当地高科技行业，科学教育或高级研究领域的职业做好准备。学生从事研究工作，并在个别教师的关注和指导下获得高级研究生教育。拥有物理学专业的理学硕士（MS）学位需要36个学期的学分。没有适当的背景课程工作的学生可能会被要求完成水平课程。
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.<br><br>Students are trained to be problem-solvers and are prepared to apply their scientific knowledge to real-world situations.<br><br>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. A materials physics concentration for the thesis option offers a strong opportunity for research in nanotechnology and applied physics
