MASTER OF SCIENCE: PHYSICS – Optics & Materials Specialization
PROGRAM OVERVIEW ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Currently, there is tremendous growth in the fields of Prerequisites: an undergraduate degree in physics, optics and condensed matter, caused by rapid mathematics, chemistry, engineering, or an allied developments in superconductivity, electro optic field. Students with deficient backgrounds are materials, optical, acoustical, and NMR imaging, required to register for additional courses to remove semiconductor devices, tomography, holography, deficiencies. and image processing. The Physics Department at Letters Of Recommendation: Required two letters Cleveland State University offers a MS degree in of recommendation. physics with an emphasis on Optics and TOEFL Requirement: Students whose Materials designed for scientists and engineers who undergraduate training is not in the US must take the wish to develop competence in these rapidly TOEFL and score above 600 (paper version) and the advancing fields. Through our research infrastructure Test of Spoken English (TSE) and score above 300. including electron and optical microscopy, scanning tunneling surface characterization, optical probes for condensed matter, and light scattering, our program provides unique opportunities to develop skills in advanced materials characterization.
