MSI Degree Requirements
Teaching Assistant in undergraduate laboratory for at least one semester, but not more than two.
Thirty credits (minimum) of graduate courses (500 level or above).
A student shall demonstrate proficiency in physics at the level of our present undergraduate courses PHY 335 (Junior Electronics Laboratory I), PHY 405 (Advanced Quantum Physics), and two of the three areas of Nuclear and Particle Physics (PHY 431), Atomic Physics and Lasers (PHY 452), and Solid State Physics (PHY 472).
This can be done:
1) by acceptance by the MSI Committee of courses taken by the student as an undergraduate,
2) by specially arranged written examination, or
3) by passing the courses appropriate to a student's background.
Other Components of the Program:
Students shall acquire those technical skills deemed necessary by their thesis supervisors. These must include, but are not limited to machining capability and computer literacy. In addition, there are many courses offered by other departments in instrumentation, materials science, etc. that might be suitable electives. Permission may be granted to reduce the number of thesis credits or to take some of them during the summer in order to allow for these electives.
