  • The MS program in astrophysical sciences and technology focuses on the underlying physics of phenomena beyond the Earth, and on the development of the technologies, instruments, data analysis, and modeling techniques that will enable the next major strides in the field.
  • The program's multidisciplinary emphasis sets it apart from conventional astrophysics graduate programs at traditional research universities.
  • Typically following the first year, but sometimes initiated during the first year for well-prepared students, candidates begin a research project under the guidance of a faculty research adviser.
  • A thesis committee is appointed by the program director and consists of the student's adviser and at least two additional members, one of whom must be a program faculty member.
  • The final examination of the thesis consists of a public oral presentation by the student, followed by questions from the audience. The thesis committee will privately question the candidate following the presentation. The committee will caucus immediately following the examination and thereafter notify the candidate and the program director of the results.
