Physics, MA

Overview

MA in Physics students can focus their studies in two ways: Academic or Industrial. With an academic focus, students build strong credentials for applying to top PhD programs in physics and engineering, and to increase the chances of securing full financial support in those programs. With an industrial focus, students develop strong tools to transition into high-end industrial jobs in the STEM field. In addition to taking applied physics courses from the academic track, students may take up to 6 credits in mathematics, business or finance.
