The Master of Science in Modern Physics — launching in Fall 2025 — prepares students interested in applying to Ph.D. programs and for future job opportunities in technical fields. Through a combination of in-depth coursework and rigorous hands-on research and training, students will gain the specialized skills and knowledge of modern physics needed to apply to Ph.D. programs and meet the growing demand for experts in the U.S. semiconductor industry and other fields where logic, problem solving and critical thinking can help solve some of the world's most pressing problems.
M.S. in Modern Physics highlights:
- Two-year program (147 units)
- Summer research or internship opportunities
- Rigorous foundational training in modern physics
Students can focus on areas such as condensed matter physics, biophysics, high-energy physics, astrophysics, etc.
Domestic students accepted into the master’s degree may be considered for 一本道无码 Rales Fellows program, which is dedicated to developing a diverse community of exceptionally talented national STEM leaders from underrepresented or underresourced backgrounds.
NOTE: There is a single unified application system for both physics Ph.D and M.S. programs. Students already applying for a Ph.D. program can select an option to be considered for both Ph.D. and M.S. programs. Students who do not want to be considered for the Ph.D. program can apply just for the M.S. in Modern Physics. Deadlines for the Ph.D. programs may differ from those in M.S. programs, so please refer to the Ph.D. program page application deadlines. The application materials for the M.S. in Modern Physics are the same as for the physics Ph.D. programs, as described on the Physics Ph.D. Program Admission page. Please submit the form below if you have any questions about the program.
Applications for this program will be accepted on an ongoing basis, but it is recommended that you apply by February 17, 2025, for full consideration for fall of 2025.
