Master of Health Physics
30 credit hours
Comprehensive examination
Designed primarily for working professional health physicists in government, medicine, research and industry, this program combines technical depth with the interdisciplinary viewpoints of law, management and communications. The degree can be completed in four semesters and two summer sessions of part-time study. Applicants must have completed coursework in calculus through differential equations and a calculus-based general physics sequence. A course in modern physics, including some basic quantum mechanics, is strongly recommended.
This program is also available on the Web, and at televised viewing sites throughout the Chicago area. Students should consult
