The Department of Physics provides coursework, training, and research experience to students who wish to further their education beyond the bachelor's level to achieve a greater degree of competency and recognition in their profession. The department offers two Master of Science degree programs. In addition to the MS in Physics, the department offers a broad-field program with a concentration in physics for students who wish to prepare to teach in several science fields in secondary schools.
The physics department provides well-equipped instructional and research laboratories. Sophisticated equipment and faculty direction are available for experimental research in solid state physics, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nanotechnology, microcomputer hardware and software development, and observational astronomy using our remotely-operable 1-m telescopes in Arizona, USA and Chile, South America.
