Physics is the cornerstone of understanding how things work at the most fundamental level. In the Physics, M.S. program at Georgia State University, students delve into the building blocks and mechanics of our reality, from the smallest particles to the vastness of space. Physics majors learn how to apply these fundamental principles to a wide array of phenomena and processes. Enrolling in our physics program means not just learning about the universe but also developing crucial skills such as critical and analytical thinking, advanced problem-solving and proficiency in mathematical and computational tools. These skills are indispensable in both scientific research and real-world applications. Students pursuing a master's degree in physics can enroll in the standard program, a concentration in astronomy, or a non-thesis option.
