The M.S. in applied physics investigates the kind of physics needed in today's laser, optics, nanotechnology, semiconductor, and other fields. Wherever fields are advancingfrom gate technology used in the advancement of flash drives and solid state drives, to laser technology for the next Playstation, to nanofabricationknowledge in applied physics is needed. The program also is an option for high school or college physics teachers who want to earn their master's degree in applied physics.<br><br>Build your knowledge of quantum physics, optics, laser physics, physics of fluids, applied electrodynamics, and other areas. Coursework helps build problem-solving, quantitative, and analytic skills, which impress employers and open career opportunities.
