Physics, Graduate Study

There are several options for graduate studies in physics. Students may obtain a Master of Sciences (MSc). All of the courses are taken at UCCS, and thesis work may be done with a professor or in conjunction with an adjoint professor who is employed in a local solid state, optics, or space industry. More details on this program follow below.

A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in physics can be obtained from the University of Colorado at Boulder withmuch of the course work and the thesis done at UCCS. Each student is evaluated on the basis of his or her experience and academic grades but, in general, will be expected to complete a year of residency at Boulder as well as passing all qualifying, comprehensive, and preliminary exams at Boulder. Application to this program is made to the Boulder Physics Department with the assistance of the UCCS Physics Department.
