This page contains information from an earlier bulletin. The Central Michigan University Department of Physics offers the Master of Science in physics for students who are interested in careers in business, industry, and government as well as for those preparing to teach at the undergraduate level, or for those considering doctoral work in physics or a related area such as materials science or astronomy.
Classes are small, and students have the opportunity for close supervision and individual attention.
Graduate research assistantships and industrial internships are available in several research areas, in addition to the unrestricted graduate teaching assistantships and fellowships. In past years, most graduate students in the Department of Physics have received financial support. Valuable collaborative research efforts exist with other CMU departments, local industries, and research centers at other universities. A biweekly seminar series brings experts with varied research interests to campus. The department is housed in the Leon A. and Frances M. McDermott wing of the new Dow Science Center.
