Applied Physics
Curious about space, the oceans, the atom? Want to advance your work in solid-state, waves, or optics? Want to push the boundaries of super lattices, nanoparticles, and sensors? Applied physics explores all these aspects of our world and more. It bridges the gap between pure physics and engineering by developing technical applications for researching natural phenomena.
EPP offers one of the few advanced degree programs in Applied Physics. The program prepares professionals for careers in technology development and research or for advanced graduate study. Students are guided to develop solutions to physics-related technological problems or they may elect to concentrate their studies in geophysics and space science; photonics; or materials science, structures, and condensed matter. Highlights include:
- Weekday evening and Saturday classes to accommodate busy professionals
- Flexible cross-discipline curriculum with opportunities to concentrate your studies in the three specialized areas of geophysics and space science; photonics; or materials science, structures, and condensed matter
- Instructors drawn from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, the Naval Research Laboratory, and the University of Maryland Baltimore County
- Faculty representing diverse specialties such as ocean sciences, optics, solid state physics, and space sciences
- No thesis required
Programs offered:
- Master of Science (M.S.)
- Advanced Certificate for Post-Master's Study
- With Photonics Option
- With Materials and Condensed Matter Option
