Master of Science Program
The Master of Science degree in Physics may be earned with thesis or independent study:
- 论文: The student’s course of study and thesis topic must be approved by the student’s advisory 委员会. A thesis consists of directed research, and a write-up of the research. An oral defense of the thesis is required. The thesis is an archival document published electronically and kept in the NMT Library.
- 没有论文: The student’s course of study must be approved by the student’s advisory 委员会. The student’s 委员会 may require additional coursework beyond that listed below. A student who elects to not write a thesis may or may not participate in research, but they typically write a paper on a topic selected with guidance by the advisory 委员会. Unlike a thesis, this paper is not archived electronically by the NMT Library.
General Requirements
In addition to the general master’s degree requirements, all students enrolled in the Master of Science degree in Physics must satisfy the following course requirements:
- All students must complete PHYS 501 (2) and 502 (2) in their first two semesters.
- 物理学509 (3)
- PHYS 505 (3) or 521 (3)
