Where Physics Drives Innovation
The Master of Science in Engineering Physics provides you with the opportunity to collaborate with experts in the field, many of whom have been awarded research grant funding for important research projects. Whether you have recently earned your undergraduate degree or have professional experience, this program is well-suited for you.
This highly research-oriented degree specifically emphasizes scientific instrumentation, applied optics, remote sensing, spacecraft subsystems (power, attitude and thermal control) and a wide variety of topics in space science and engineering. This program also covers experimental topics, ranging from satellite systems and sounding rockets to ground-based remote-sensing experiments, along with theoretical studies in related areas. You’ll graduate with expertise in applied physics and knowledge specializing in space science and engineering physics.
Program Details
Offered at the Daytona Beach Campus
The Master of Science in Engineering Physics is housed in the Department of Physical Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences. As a student, you are encouraged to take advantage of campus laboratories, including the Atmospheric Physics Research Lab, Control Design Lab, 1-meter Ritchey-Chretien Reflecting Telescope, Space Physics Research Lab and the Laboratory for Exosphere and Near-Space Environment Studies (LENSES).
Throughout the program, you will be involved in a wide variety of research, most of which is funded by grants from , the (NSF) and other agencies. Several faculty members are awardees of from the NSF — an honor which the NSF describes as "the Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization."
We also offer an that allows exceptional students to complete both the bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Engineering Physics in five years.
