MA/MS in Physics

The Master of Science in Physics is designed for three groups: students strengthening their preparation for doctoral work in physics or an applied science, students seeking a final degree before working in physics or engineering industries, and teachers who want to improve high school physics instruction. The program requires forty-eight quarter hours. Twenty-eight are core courses, such as graduate electrodynamics, sixteen are electives and four are devoted to a thesis. Graduates should show the math, computing or laboratory skills needed to conduct original research. They should also be able to explain and interpret what they find in independent projects that grow from their courses and research work. Prospective students can review the full requirements and course lists on the program's catalog page at DePaul University.
