Overview
The applied physics concentration of East Carolina University's Physics, M.Sc. degree program is built around a core curriculum designed to give the candidate a thorough foundation in the major fields of physics. This concentration includes a research thesis (one year). Physics faculty offer a wide range of cutting-edge research projects.
The medical physics concentration is a joint program with the Department of Radiation Oncology (Brody School of Medicine) and accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP) (www.campep.org/campeplstgrad.asp). It is designed as a terminal degree program with a substantial clinical component that enables its graduates to move into a career in diagnostic or therapeutic medical physics. A research thesis is optional. Instead, students participate in a clinical rotation (20 hours per week, for one semester) to gain valuable insights and first-hand practical experience in a clinical setting.
The health physics concentration is designed to fill an urgent need for trained health physics professionals brought about by resurgence in the development of nuclear power, an expansion of programs in national security, and an ageing cadre of current health physics professionals. Also in this concentration, a research thesis is optional. Instead, students participate in an internship (10â??16 weeks over the summer) in an academic, clinical or industrial setting to experience a realistic workplace for a health physicist.
