Creighton University's graduate program in Physics is designed to combine a solid foundation in physics with adaptability to a wide range of student interests and career objectives. The Physics Department maintains close association with the Departments of Atmospheric Sciences, Mathematics/Computer Science, Chemistry, Biology, and the Health Sciences, providing excellent opportunities for interdisciplinary study and research. The Department also participates with other colleges and universities in combined research efforts, including collaborative experiments at regional, national, and international facilities. Close interaction between students and faculty facilitates responsiveness to the needs of each student. Graduates of four-year liberal arts colleges are of special interest to our faculty, as are secondary-school and junior-college teachers who wish to enrich their background in physics. Graduate study for part-time students is encouraged by scheduling courses in the late afternoon, and by flexibility in accommodating the needs of working part-time students.

The Master of Science Program in Physics is designed to be completed by full-time students in two academic years.
