The department receives several million dollars annually for research areas combined.
Although several plans are available for obtaining an MS degree, most students elect to take a program requiring 30 credit hours of course work, including a minimum of 18 credits from physics courses numbered 600 to 798, including 610, 650, 670 and 690.
The remaining creditsare selected from approved courses in mathematics, chemistry, meteorology, engineering and philosophy. Other courses may be selected with the approval of the department chair. Passing a written qualifying examination completes the requirements for this plan.
