密苏里大学的物理和天文学系。路易斯提供学习计划，可获理学硕士学位和博士学位。物理学学位。博士学位与密苏里科技大学物理系合作。学生可以在他们的计划中使用两个校区的资源，也可以在UMSL上跨学科的神经动力学中心使用资源。研究生物理课程的前提是要适应现代世界，需要对实验和理论物理学有更深的基础理解，以及物理学研究人员和其他学科的研究人员之间的合作。学院的研究计划包括天体物理学理论与观测，生物物理学，非线性动力学，材料与表面物理学以及统计物理学。该学位课程旨在为职业前和职业中期的学生准备高级研究与开发或学术职位。
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Missouri-St. Louis offers programs of study leading to a Master of Science degree and a Ph.D. degree in physics. The doctoral degree is in cooperation with the Missouri University of Science and Technology Physics Department. Students may utilize resources of both campuses in their programs as well as the interdisciplinary Center for Neurodynamics on the UMSL. The graduate physics programs are based on the premise that adaptation to the modern world will require a deeper fundamental understanding of experimental and theoretical physics as well as collaborations between researchers in physics and those in other disciplines. Faculty research programs include astrophysics theory and observation, biophysics, nonlinear dynamics, materials and surface physics, and statistical physics. The degree programs are designed to prepare precareer and mid-career students for advanced research and development or academic positions.
