Research Problems Option
The graduate credit requirement for the Master of Science degree is 33 semester hours chosen in the following manner: Note:
Research problems in lieu of thesis are independent though not necessarily original studies that may be experimental, computational, tutorial, bibliographic, pedagogic or a combination of these. As part of the requirements for each problems course, the student must present a formal written report of the work done in the course, which must be approved by the advisory committee. Reports for PHYS 5920 and PHYS 5930 must be submitted in the manuscript form prescribed by the American Institute of Physics (see AIP Style Manual, current edition). Course Work Option
The graduate credit requirement for the Master of Science degree is 36 semester hours chosen in the following manner. Additional Requirements:
Seminar in Current Literature or Colloquium
All physics graduate students must attend the department of physics’ colloquium each week during each long term/semester of full-time graduate study. Students may opt to earn credit for this requirement by enrolling in PHYS 5941 .
Examinations
An entrance interview concerning fundamental physics is required of all students. The results are used for advisory, placement and remedial purposes.
An oral presentation of the master’s thesis (PHYS 5950 ) is required. The thesis is accepted by the student’s advisory committee after an oral examination is successfully completed and the thesis is filed in the graduate dean’s office. Problems in lieu of thesis (PHYS 5920 and PHYS 5930 ) must be accepted by the student’s advisory committee; oral presentation is optional. |
