Masters degrees in Physics, General: A general program that focuses on the scientific study of matter and energy, and the formulation and testing of the laws governing the behavior of the matter-energy continuum. Includes instruction in classical and modern physics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, mechanics, wave properties, nuclear processes, relativity and quantum theory, quantitative methods, and laboratory methods.
The Department of Physics offers programs leading to a Ph.D. with an optional M.A. degree in physics. The department offers research opportunities in experimental high-energy and medium-energy physics, particle astrophysics, theoretical particle physics and cosmology, molecular biophysics, experimental biophysics and condensed matter physics, and theoretical condensed matter, polymer, and statistical physics.
The Master of Arts in Teaching degree in physics in was developed for high school and middle school subject area teachers who have an nitial license and are seeking a professional license in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This MAT program is designed to meet the ’appropriate master‘s degree“ requirement,which is part of the criteria for professional stage licensure, as set forth in the most recent MA DESE licensure regulations.
The frontier of high-energy physics is "the even smaller" and that of astrophysics is "the ever larger." Applied Physics, of which the study of condensed matter is a large part, has its own frontier, "the ever more complex," covering the interfaces of physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. The Division, with its open, interdisciplinary structure is uniquely suited for innovative research in this area.
The AM degree is frequently taken by students who continue on for their PhD. For those who do not attain the doctorate, the AM degree attests to the completion of a full year’s study beyond the AB.
Eight half-courses of suitable depth and breadth are required for the AM degree. At least four of them must be physics courses, and ordinarily all must be in physics or related fields. After drawing up a tentative academic program, students should...
The emphasis of both the undergraduate curriculum and the graduate program is on understanding the fundamental principles that appear to govern the behavior of the physical world, from phenomena in the small-scale domain of subatomic particles to the large-scale structure of the universe, spanning a spatial range stretching from 10-18 m to 1026 m. At each level of structural organization, active and exciting areas of investigation abound. Topics range...
