物理学硕士学位可以为许多职业机会打开大门，包括软件开发，银行业务以及在本科院校或高中的教学。您有两种选择来完成物理学“PlanI和Plan II中的MS。这两个程序之间最根本的区别在于，计划I要求论文，而计划II则通过附加课程代替论文。建议计划II仅适用于计划继续攻读更高学位的学生，无论是博士学位。或医学博士如果您满足以下条件，则应考虑计划I：您不确定是否要攻读博士学位。但想扩大您的学历。您希望在从事该行业之前先进行深造。
You're ready to take what you learned in undergrad and become a true expert in matter, energy, and how they relate to one another. With an MS in Physics, you'll have the background you need in statistical mechanics, electromagnetic theory, mathematical physics, and quantum mechanics to pursue a career in research, industry, or education.<br><br>To prepare you for these fields, we've developed a program that is advanced, fast-paced, and research-focused. In fact, your curriculum will allow you to explore the same research areas as our PhD students, because we want you to be well-equipped to pursue an advanced degree when you finish. In addition to your curriculum, we'll want you to choose between one of two plans. Plan I (thesis option) requires a thesis based on original research. You can research in an interdisciplinary area such as biophysics, chemical physics, geophysics, mathematical physics, neurophysics, optics, materials science, or engineering physics. Or, if you're still mulling over the decision of whether to pursue a PhD or MD, Plan II (non-thesis option) is built just for you. The thesis option is replaced here with more advanced coursework and an exit exam.
