The MS in Physics is a graduate level program offered by The Physics Department of ODU. It has strong research groups in experimental and theoretical nuclear and particle physics, experimental and theoretical atomic and few-body physics, accelerator physics, theoretical condensed matter physics, materials science and geophysics. The Department is comprised of 22 tenured or tenure-track faculty and six special appointment "Jefferson Lab Professors" and is supported by substantial external, peer-reviewed research grant support as well as state funds. Thirteen faculty members are Fellows of the American Physical Society. All of these help graduate students achieve the most out of their master degree.
