MS, PhD
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Clemson University offers the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in physics. The MS program has a thesis and non-thesis option. This program provides a great opportunity for students who want a research career in physics, astronomy or closely related fields, those who want to be expert teachers of these subjects, or those students who want broad-based technical expertise for other careers. While working on their degrees, physics and astronomy graduate students get paid for their work, and get tuition waivers.
After graduation, our M.S. and Ph.D. recipients take many career paths. Some are faculty in research universities, some in teaching colleges. Others work in research positions, or in other capacities, in national labs (for NASA, the Department of Energy, in National Observatories, or the US Navy or Air Force, in the USA) or private companies.
