The University of Vermont, based in Burlington, VT offers a fully funded Master’s in Physics. In addition, the Department of Physics at UVM participates in the Materials Science Program in which students can get either an M.S. or a Ph.D. Upon completion of the MS degree, students will be able to apply the laws of physics in classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, and statistical mechanics at a level commensurate with current standards in physics. Almost all of the graduate students in physics are supported through Graduate Teaching Fellowships (GTF). This includes a stipend for nine months and a tuition scholarship covering up to 10 credits per semester.
