专业概况
在这里学什么?
The goal of the Master of Science in Physics is to provide a solid, in-depth background in theoretical and experimental physics, appropriate for students pursuing further education in the field via Ph.D. programs in physics, astronomy, or certain engineering fields, or for those seeking employment as physicists/astronomers in physics/astronomy-related jobs and professions; e.g., as technical associates, laboratory physicists, physics or astronomy data analyzers, engineers, or in education as instructors in community colleges. This program combines advanced education in core physics topics with additional advanced courses, laboratory and computer work, and more concentrated work in a specialty such as solid-state physics, particle physics, quantum optics, astrophysics, or computational physics. Students in this program are strongly encouraged to gain research experience.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the Master of Science in Physics a student will demonstrate:
- knowledge and understanding of, and ability to use, essential concepts and methods in physics.
- strong ability to utilize mathematical relationships and methods to describe physical phenomena.
- ability to solve problems of significant difficulty in physics by integrating conceptual understanding, quantitative understanding, logical reasoning, and use of mathematical methods.
- strong ability to analyze and interpret data, with proper treatment of measurement uncertainties (lab/industry track only).
- strong ability to design and implement experimental investigations, with proper use of instrumentation (lab/industry track only).
- strong ability to communicate knowledge and results to others in written and oral form.
- strong ability to utilize print and electronic resources, computers, and software to gain information and perform calculations.
- ability to work in teams to solve a problem.
