Admission and transfer requirements
- BSU and UMassD agree that BSU students who complete two: PHYS 433, PHYS 438, or PHYS 458 courses with a grade of B or better can apply six credits to the MS in Physics at UMassD.
- A BSU student may opt to take one graduate-level PHY course at UMassD during their junior or senior year at BSU. The course should be chosen in consultation with the MS physics graduate program director.
Provided that the student meets the grade requirements for the two courses selected under (1) and completes the course under (2) with a B or better grade, the student will have 9 credits invested toward the 30 credits required for the PHY MS degree.
