Master of Science - Physics (Optional Co-op)

RIT’s physics master's degree offers both a research and professional option, and provides advanced knowledge in core areas of physics, including electrodynamics, quantum, and classical mechanics, and statistical physics, as well as one or more sub-areas of physics that correspond to students' individual interests and career aspirations. They’ll work with program faculty to develop a tailored individual academic plan that supports their individual career aspirations.

The program is suitable as either a means to further career development or as preparation for further graduate study. Nationally, graduates of the program are in demand across all economic sectors, spanning a wide variety of exciting opportunities within the private sector (especially in engineering and computer/information technology), in government labs and agencies, and in university level and secondary education.
