A master’s degree in physics can lead to a variety of
careers in industry, education, and government.
At Ball State, our master’s program has been chosen as one of the
nation’s strongest professional programs by the
American Institute of Physics. In addition, we are one of six institutions sharing a $5.76 million grant aimed at
revolutionizing science education in elementary, middle, and junior and senior high schools. We also are partnering with other Indiana and Ohio schools in a $1.5 million project to create a
Computational Nanoscience Research Center.
So, if you love physics, Ball State is the place. You can choose from four master's degree programs:
Whatever option you choose you’ll be able to learn from
top-notch faculty with wide-ranging interests in
research topics. Our on-campus
observatory and
