The mission of the Department of Physics and Astronomy is to educate and train the next generation of physicists, perform cutting-edge and internationally-recognized research, and support the education of students in allied areas such as engineering, chemistry, atmospheric science, and the biological sciences. M.S. with Thesis: A student must take at least 24 semester hours in graduate courses, plus at least 6 semester hours of PH 699, culminating in the successful defense of their thesis. Students writing a thesis do not need to take the Comprehensive Examination.

This exam is offered every August, and also serves as the preliminary examination for the Ph.D. degree program. The Comprehensive Examination is on material covered in the core courses given above, and thus has sections dealing with quantum mechanics, electromagnetic theory and relativity and classical and statistical mechanics. Criteria for an M.S. or Ph.D. pass are given on the Department's web site.
