Applied Physics

UMass Boston

The UMass Boston Applied Physics Master's Program is built around the idea that physics is an approach to thinking about and solving problems rather than a specific set of skills. The goal is to train students in this approach and give them a general toolbox of techniques that will allow them to pursue quantitative problems, regardless of the specific fields in which they find themselves.
