Physics, BS/MS

Program Coordinator: Mark Sprague (E-310 Howell Science Complex; 252-328-1862; spraguem@ecu.edu)

Students working toward a BS degree in physics have the opportunity to earn an accelerated MS degree in two or three additional semesters of study. These students are encouraged to begin research projects as undergraduates and take advanced classes that can be used to waive some MS course requirements. As seniors they may be granted early admission to the MS program and would be eligible to receive paid teaching assistantships. To be enrolled in the MS program as a senior, students must be within 6 s.h. credit of completing all undergraduate degree requirements. Applications to the MS program should be submitted during the first semester of the senior year and must include GRE scores.
