德克薩斯農(nóng)工大學(xué)康莫斯分校

The Department of Physics provides coursework, training, and research experience to students who wish to further their education beyond the bachelor's level to achieve a greater degree of competency and recognition in their profession. The department offers two Master of Science degree programs. In addition to the MS in Physics, the department offers a broad-field program with a concentration in physics for students who wish to prepare to teach in several science fields in secondary schools.

The physics department provides well-equipped instructional and research laboratories. Sophisticated equipment and faculty direction are available for experimental research in solid state physics, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nanotechnology, microcomputer hardware and software development, and observational astronomy using our remotely-operable 1-m telescopes in Arizona, USA and Chile, South America.

Master of Science in Physics - Non-Thesis w/Teaching Emphasis

The new online emphasis is designed for high-school physics teachers who may not necessarily have a degree in physics. It is based around 6 courses which introduce students to advanced physics content such as quantum physics and astrophysics. As well as the physics itself, we will examine the historical context of the subjects, and examine their pedagogy with an aim to introducing modern physics content into the high school classroom. This Master's program will reinforce teacher's physics content knowledge and allow teachers to instruct dual enrollment courses and at community college level.

The suggested minimum undergraduate courses include a year of calculus-based physics, modern physics, and mathematics up through differential equations; those students who do not have this minimum will be expected to take the "Mathematical Methods for Educators" course during their first semester. The Physics MS - Option II Non Thesis degree program requires 36 semester hours.
