B.S. in Physics with Health Physics Concentration

The Health Physics Society has posted a short Health Physics Careers Video, Is a career in health physics for you?, as well as information on Careers in Health Physics and Student Opportunities.

The program is designed for those students who have interests in nuclear physics and the practical application of nuclear physics to modern society. This program prepares undergraduate students for careers as a nuclear worker in university, industrial, medical, and government laboratory settings. Students successfully completing this degree program will have satisfied the standard undergraduate requirements for admission to graduate programs in physics, medical physics, and health physics.

Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry with a Radiochemistry Track

The Ph.D. with a Radiochemistry track is situated within the current doctoral program in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. This track will prepare students with an interest in the broader chemical aspects of nuclear and radiological sciences, with coursework and research experience at the doctoral level. Graduates of the program will have developed a strong expertise in both applied radiological sciences and chemistry, and will be able to find employment in these areas in industry, government, and academia. The consists of both academic classes and research. The requirements of the track are similar to those for doctoral students in chemistry but the majority of the coursework and the thesis research be in the general area of nuclear and radiochemistry.
