Department of Physics Programs
The Department offers the B.S. degree in Physics. Its graduates may enter occupations in industry, government, and education. Many graduates continue their education in graduate or professional schools. Students in other departments may elect to minor in either physics or astronomy.
The Minor in Astronomy is an ideal complementary minor primarily for students majoring in mathematics, engineering, or the sciences. All science students are invited to complete the astronomy minor. Students majoring in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Physics are the main target for this minor.
The Department also offers graduate study courses leading to the Master of Science degree in Materials Science. An under degree: B.S. in Physics and M.S. in Materials Science. The Department of Physics provides the instruction necessary for the understanding of physics, astronomy, and materials science for students in this department and other departments of the university.

Graduate Programs
Norfolk State University offers two graduate programs in the Interdisciplinary field of materials for advanced technologies. The Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering program prepares students for careers in industry, federal or private research laboratories, and academia. The program transitions students from physical sciences, engineering, and related fields into the discipline of materials science and engineering while broadening their professional opportunities.
Master of Science in Materials Science The M.S. in Materials Science program provides students with analytical and technical skills and research experience necessary for doctoral programs. Graduates are also prepared for professional jobs involving materials science and engineering principles.
Doctor of Philosophy in Materials Science and Engineering
The Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering program prepares students for careers in industry, federal or private research laboratories, and academia. The program transitions students from physical sciences, engineering, and related fields into the discipline of materials science and engineering while broadening their professional opportunities.
