New Master of Science in Applied Physics

Many of today’s most interesting jobs need advanced physics skills. But many engineering and other undergraduate programs only require a year of physics.

If you want to work in the state of the art in many fields—laser technology, optics, semi-conductors, nuclear energy, nanofabrication, biotechnology—the Master of Science in Applied Physics from Illinois Institute of Technology may be right for you.

It provides people who have a non-physics (e.g., engineering, mathematics, computer science) undergraduate degree with advanced physics knowledge, including quantum theory, electromagnetic theory, analytical dynamics, and statistical dynamics. This is the kind of physics needed wherever fields are advancing—from gate technology used in the advancement of flash drives and solid state drives, to laser technology for the next Playstation, to nanofabrication.

It will also help build problem-solving, quantitative, and analytic skills, which are good for countless jobs. Many courses are available online, including the quantum physics courses.

If you’d like to open up more career opportunities in the newest and most exciting areas of many fields, build your physics knowledge with the Master of Science in Applied Physics at Illinois Tech.
