M.S. Degree Requirements (semesters)
The information presented here is as accurate as possible. However, the UMD Bulletin should be reviewed before finalizing a degree program in consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies in Physics.
Semester requirements summary - 30 credits total:
- Plan A and B common requirements:
- 14 credits physics core
- 6 credits in courses eligible for graduate credit in related
fields, or a minor in a related field
- Final oral exam that includes a presentation of thesis/project

credit. For distinctly interdisciplinary programs, some of
these courses may be drawn from related fields outside physics.
In all cases, the overall plan of study and selection of specific elective
courses must form a coherent program and must be approved by the
Director of Graduate Studies.
- One or more Plan B projects requiring a minimum of 120 hours of total effort, and preparation of a written report for each project.
