Career Opportunities

Depending on each student's program of graduate coursework, seminars, directed studies, and research, our M.S. in Physics graduates are prepared to enter doctoral programs in the various specialities of physics, or advanced degree programs in a variety of related fields such as electronics, optical or nuclear engineering, computer science, biophysics, medical physics, environmental science, meteorology, oceanography, and astrophysics. The M.S. in Physics program is also an excellent preparation for research positions in industrial or governmental laboratories, and for teaching positions at the secondary-school and junior-college levels.

The CAMPEP-accredited M.S. Medical Physics program is specifically designed to prepare students for the first part of the American Board of Radiology exam (ABR part 1) and participation in clinical residency programs.
