| Degree Programs: Indiana University/USPAS Master's Degree Program. Indiana University offers a Master's Degree in Beam Physics and Technology that students can earn by taking USPAS courses. Thirty credit hours are required, some previous credits can be transferred. Attend USPAS courses and accumulate Indiana University credit toward your degree. The Joint
University-Fermilab Ph.D. Program was established in 1985 as a way
to create dedicated training for accelerator physicists at the world's
highest energy particle accelerator. The Ph.D. Program works in a joint
agreement with universities. Fermilab provides the research facilities and
mentors to guide students through their research, while the students
maintain relationships with their home institution's advisers who oversee
the student's progress toward their degree. Michigan State University offers an interactive Master's and Ph.D.
program in Beam Physics through its
Virtual University. Students participate in
video-conference courses and work on interactive, web-based homework
problems. A combination of VUBeam courses, courses offered by the US
Particle Accelerator School, courses taken in residence at MSU, transferred
credit, and thesis work, allow to earn a Master's or Ph.D. Degree in
Physics. Thesis work can be performed within research groups at many
accelerator laboratories under the supervision of a local scientist. |
