Bolstered by its proximity to the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), the nation’s leading site for underground nuclear and particle physics, the M.S. program at South Dakota Mines provides unique opportunities for research into the underlying principles of the natural world. Our internationally recognized faculty lead students in searches for the dark matter of the universe, studies of the nature of the neutrino and the origin of the chemical elements, as well as research into condensed matter, e.g. phase transitions in ferroelectric and magnetic materials or quantum materials. Graduate students can also investigate topics in atmospheric physics. For more on the departmental research click here.

The Master of Science in Physics involves students in active and frontier research, preparing them for scientific careers on the cutting edge of discovery. Core program material includes mathematical methods, advanced mechanics, electromagnetic theory, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and computational physics.

The medical physics graduate program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs, Inc. (CAMPEP). The program, serving both MS and PhD degrees, ensures that the students receive adequate didactic and clinical training to continue in education and research, enter clinical physics residencies, or begin working as medical physicists in radiation therapy and diagnostic radiology departments.

Solidify your understanding of the core aspects of physics in both research and technical skill as you study the areas of physics that support your career interests.

Studying an Applied Physics master's program merges the analytical depth of physics with practical engineering prowess, preparing you to address multifaceted challenges across high-tech industries. This interdisciplinary training in applied physics courses not only prepares you for innovative roles in applied physics fields such as aerospace, energy, and materials science but also offers enhanced career opportunities through Seton Hall's proximity to New York's vibrant industry sectors.

You will find the faculty, facilities and financial support to help you achieve your goals. The subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms. Physicists use mathematics and numerical analysis and statistics and probability and computer software in their work. We offer a solid foundation in physics that includes course work in a diverse range of specializations covering every facet of contemporary physics research.

Petrophysics is the study of the physical and chemical properties of reservoirs (rocks and fluids). It is the first such program in North America and addresses properties of subsurface rock formations and the fluid within those strata with particular application to the petroleum exploration and production industry. The course work including the graduate research project is a multidisciplinary program with Geology, Physics, and Natural Gas Engineering courses.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers a Master of Science degree with a track in Physics Education in conjunction with the Department of Education at Tufts. We offer a full range of graduate-level courses and research opportunities in astronomy, biophysics, condensed matter physics, cosmology, elementary particle physics, and quantum information.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers programs of study leading to a Master of Science degree, with a full range of graduate-level courses and research opportunities in astronomy, biophysics, condensed matter physics, cosmology, elementary particle physics, and quantum information.
