Collaborative Physics PhD
This program is a collaboration between the Master’s program at the University of Houston-Clear Lake and the Doctoral program at the University of Houston. UH will award the PhD and UHCL will support the effort through courses and research opportunities offered at its campus. Select faculty at UH and UHCL hold joint appointments which allow them to move their students smoothly from the MS to the PhD program.

Physics Master of Science

The graduate plan in Physics leads to the master of science (MS). This program prepares students for doctoral work and advanced research in Physics, Astronomy, Space Science, and related fields. This program also expands the knowledge base of practicing engineers. Students in this program gain better problem-solving abilities and increase their knowledge of Astronomy, Orbital Mechanics, Relativity, or Plasma Physics. The physics program gives students a deeper understanding of the essential science used in many engineering disciplines including the space industry.

Physical Sciences Bachelor of Science

The plan in Physical Sciences leads to the bachelor of science (BS). Coursework emphasizes interdisciplinary applications of the physical sciences suited to careers in industry, government or teaching; the physics sub-plan also prepares students for the MS in Physics at UHCL. Students may choose electives in their particular areas of interest. Students planning to pursue a teaching career must have dual advisement in both the subject field and education. They must also file a certification plan with the School of Education. Please see the bachelor of science information (on the navigation bar on the left) and the section for the requirements for 8-12 teaching certification.
