Master of Science in Medical Health Physics Coursework
The Master of Science in Medical Health Physics degree requires a minimum of 48 semester credit hours of graduate work. For the Ph.D. degree, no specific number of additional semester hours is required for admission to candidacy. Ph.D. students are expected, however, to successfully complete the required courses in addition to a selection of advanced courses. Required courses and electives are determined for each student, in consultation with his/her graduate advisor and dissertation committee. M.S. degree candidates must complete required courses, pass the qualifying examination, formulate an original research proposal, and carry out the research and defense of a thesis.
