Graduate Programs
Doctor of Philosophy
Master of Arts and Master of Science
Graduate students in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Baylor University experience the benefits of a major American university, large enough to support a superior academic program while still allowing opportunities only available within a close-knit community of scholars. A campus population of over 17,000, with a graduate student population of almost 11%, allows Baylor graduate students to enjoy close working relationships with their major professors.
Graduate students are involved at every level of the research process and have almost unlimited access to their major professor. In addition, they participate in a variety of teaching activities, thereby enhancing their opportunities for later employment at the university level.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers the Doctor of Philosophy degree and both thesis and non-thesis Master's of Science and Master's of Arts degrees. Current enrollment for advanced degrees is approximately 40 students from all over the world (including Sri Lanka, China, India, and Nepal). Experimental research within the department focuses on atomic, molecular, nuclear, elementary particle, plasma, surface and space physics. Various theoretical groups are researching astrophysics, cosmology, gravity, high-energy particle physics, nuclear, quantum-optical, solid-state, and space physics.
