Master of Science in Physics

Wayne State's Master of Science in Physics prepares students who recently completed their undergraduate studies to deepen their knowledge of physics and the scientific process.

For some students, the master's degree will be used as part of a continuing Ph.D. program (under Plan C, for details see our physics graduate advisor). For others, it will be a terminal degree leading to employment in government laboratories, high-tech companies, teaching professions and other occupations.
