 The Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree in Physics may be completed under one of three options called Plans A, B and C. Plan A involves the writing of a Master's thesis. Plan B allows two choices. One choice is a so-called Plan B project. The second choice is to write three Plan B papers on three different topics. Both Plan A and Plan B require a faculty research adviser who agrees to supervise the work. A three member faculty committee will be appointed by the Director of Graduate Studies to certify that the thesis or project/papers is satisfactory and to administer the final oral examination.  Plan C involves course-work, requires a higher GPA, and requires that the Graduate Written Examination be passed. The Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree in Physics may be completed under one of three options called Plans A, B and C.
