PHYSICS, MS Cleveland State University

Program Description

Currently, there is tremendous growth in optics, condensed matter, and medical physics caused by rapid developments in the fields of superconductivity, electro optic materials, optical, acoustical, and NMR imaging, semiconductor devices, tomography, holography, and image-processing. The Physics Department of Cleveland State University offers an MS degree in physics, with emphasis on optics and condensed matter physics, or on medical physics, designed for applied scientists and engineers who wish to develop competence in these rapidly advancing fields. In 2005, the American Physical Society classified the Master of Science in Physics program at Cleveland State in the “strongest professional master’s degree program” category. In fact, CSU’s MS in Physics program is ranked 5th in the country by the American Institute of Physics according to its April 2014 report on largest physics master’s-granting departments in the US.
