Program Description
The Department of 物理 offers graduate study leading to the Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)学位. Advanced work may involve specialized training in the following areas: biophysics, computational physics, condensed matter, nanomaterials, physics education research, polymer physics, soft matter physics, and statistical mechanics.
研究 and academic programs are tailored to meet individual needs and interests. New students are strongly urged to visit faculty members to discuss research opportunities soon after their arrival.
入学s Requirements
The Department of 物理 graduate program is open to all qualified graduates of universities and colleges of recognized standing.
Financial Assistance
Prospective students must apply to the 研究生 School and be accepted in full or conditional status before being eligible for an assistantship in the Department of 物理. 一般, graduate students are supported during the academic year by either teaching assistantships or research assistantships. The 2023-2024 academic year stipend is $19,500 for 9 months. Additional support during the summer is also possible.
In addition to the stipend, graduate assistants receive a graduate tuition waiver. Tuition waivers cover base tuition for NDSU graduate credits only. Students are responsible for differential tuition, 学费, and tuition for non-graduate level credits taken or Cooperative Education credits.
研究 Equipment
North Dakota State University's Materials and Nanotechnology Center is located in the 研究 and Technology Park. The Center is equipped with two state-of-the-art wet labs, a synthesis lab, optical characterization facilities (optical/NIR fluorescence microscopy, laser-scanning confocal microscopy, and light scattering/reflectometry), and surface characterization facilities (nano-indentation and atomic-force microscopy). There are seven fume hoods in the lab space, as well as a number of synthesis tools, including a Beckman Coulter Optima L-80 XP Ultracentrifuge. We also have access to state-of-the-art chemical synthesis facilities in the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Coatings and Polymeric Materials, including a Photo Emissions Tech Model SS50AAA Solar Simulator equipped with a Keithley 2400 Series Source meter. NDSU’s Center for Computationally Assisted Science and Technology (CCAST) provides large-scale computing resources to NDSU users.
