Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the availability of online Master's degrees in Engineering Physics or Applied Physics. Participants share their experiences and suggestions regarding online programs, particularly in the context of balancing education with professional and personal commitments.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about online Master's programs specifically in Engineering Physics or Applied Physics, noting a lack of available options.
  • Another participant suggests considering a Master's in Mechanical Engineering as an alternative, providing a link to a program.
  • A participant expresses confusion about how "Applied" Physics can be effectively taught online.
  • One participant mentions already holding a Master's in Mechanical Engineering and is seeking online options due to time constraints from work and family.
  • Another participant asserts that there may be limited online options for Engineering Physics degrees.
  • A participant shares that they found a Master's of Engineering online at the University of Illinois Chicago, which focuses on electromagnetics rather than mechanics, but notes the absence of programs for pure physics.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not seem to agree on the availability of online Master's programs in Engineering Physics or Applied Physics, with some suggesting alternatives while others highlight the scarcity of such programs.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the potential for varying definitions of "Applied" Physics and the specific focus of available programs, which may not align with all participants' interests.

Does anyone know of an online Masters Degree in Engineering Physics or Applied Physics?

I have searched around, but to my surprise, did not find much.

I don't know of an Engineering Physics degree, but how about a Mechanical Engineering masters?

Already have one. I guess I just can't stay away! With a full time engineering job and family, I am looking for online stuff.
 
There's a reason you won't find one online.
 
I've been looking myself. The best I can find is a Master's of Engineering online through University of Illinois Chicago (might apply to that one), but its more for the electromagnetics side rather than the mechanics side. But I haven't found one for pure physics.
