Scholarship Opportunities
DUE: January 17th, 2025 - March 27th, 2025 The June Bacon-Bercey Scholarship in Atmospheric Sciences for Women supports women students with a demonstrated interest in atmospheric sciences and intersections with meteorology. Originally offered between 1978 and 1990 and reestablished in 2021 through support from AGU鈥檚 community of donors, the family of June Bacon-Bercey, and AccuWeather, the scholarship recognizes outstanding accomplishments for a scientist at their career-stage. STRUCTURE AND CLARITY OF THE APPLICATION The review committee will be instructed to rate the quality of the personal statement (taking into consideration the impact that receiving the scholarship will have on the applicant), CV, letters of recommendation, and provide an overall rating for the application. Reviewers will be instructed to rate the applicant's accomplishments, as demonstrated in the application materials, for a scientist at their career-stage.
I鈥檓 excited to inform you that applications for the 2025 Student Internship Program (SIP) are now open. Within the SIP portfolio there are a total of ten distinctively unique internship programs representing a cross section of career paths across the Naval Research Establishment (NRE), Naval Research & Development Establishment (NRDE), and other supporting naval agencies and organizations. Please introduce this to students in your orbit.   How to Apply? Refresh Materials: Update resume, gather latest academic transcripts, and acquire two recommendation letters.

We鈥檒l keep you informed about next steps and any additional information you might need. Important Dates to Remember: Application Deadline: November 8, 2024 Internship Period: Summer 2025

The Master of Science degree in Physics may be earned with thesis or independent study: 

• With Thesis: The student鈥檚 course of study and thesis topic must be approved by the student鈥檚 advisory committee. A thesis consists of directed research, and a write-up of the research. An oral defense of the thesis is required. The thesis is an archival document published electronically and kept in the NMT Library.
• Without Thesis: The student鈥檚 course of study must be approved by the student鈥檚 advisory committee. The student鈥檚 committee may require additional coursework beyond that listed below. A student who elects to not write a thesis may or may not participate in research, but they typically write a paper on a topic selected with guidance by the advisory committee. Unlike a thesis, this paper is not archived electronically by the NMT Library. 

General Requirements

In addition to the general master鈥檚 degree requirements, all students enrolled in the Master of Science degree in Physics must satisfy the following course requirements:

•  All students must complete PHYS 501 (2) and 502 (2) in their first two semesters.
