Graduate Program
We offer a program leading to a Master of Science in basic physics or applied physics, as well as a Ph.D. in physics. We also offer a teaching emphasis for secondary education.
Well-qualified juniors or seniors planning on going to graduate school or first-year graduate students may consider applying for an NSF Graduate Fellowship or a National Physical Science Consortium Fellowship. The typical due date for these programs is November. Contact the assistant chair or director of graduate studies for more information.
There are also several NIU awards and scholarships. Our department offers several scholarships.
