Department Description
The Department of Physics offers the bachelor of science and bachelor of
arts degrees. These degrees can be obtained using a traditional program of
study suggested for students interested in advancing to graduate school or for students seeking employment immediately upon completion of their undergraduate degree.
The department offers a master of science degree in physics with thesis and non-thesis
options.
The Department of Physics is eligible for full
participation in UMKC's Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program. Qualified students can
select physics as a discipline when applying for admission or preparing their
doctoral program of study. (See the
School of Graduate Studies section of the graduate
catalog for details about the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program).
Many physics courses are offered in the late afternoon or evening to
accommodate part-time students.
