MA/MS in Physics

The master's in Physics at Georgia Tech provides graduate study of the physical principles behind natural phenomena. Core subject matter includes thermodynamics, mechanics, electricity with magnetism, and quantum theory, which describes how molecules, atoms, and nuclei behave when viewed at their tiny scale. Students deepen their command of these foundations and take up research on related topics. The degree suits those who want stronger preparation in fundamental physics than an undergraduate program supplies. As a master's-level program at Georgia Tech, it is aimed at students who already hold a first degree. The institute's catalog entry gives the formal requirements, and applicants should read it before planning their studies. Georgia Tech publishes the full course listing in its online catalog, which is the place to confirm admission conditions, timelines, and any later changes to the curriculum.
