About the course

The Master of Science in Medical Physics (M.S.M.P.) degree program is intended to prepare students for productive careers as medical physicists and is consistent with the requirements recommended by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine. The program is designed to be completed in one and one-half years by well-motivated, full-time students.

　　The graduate program in medical physics leads to the degree of Master of Science in Medical Physics (MS MP) and a Doctor of Philosophy as an option under the PhD program in nuclear engineering. The program focuses on the application of radiation to medicine, particularly in the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. In addition to the traditional on-campus MS program, a distance learning program leading to the MS MP degree is also offered to accommodate the needs of professionals in the field. A large number of medical physics practitioners in government and industry participate in the video-based program. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships

How to apply

Entry requirements for Georgia Institute of Technology

The applicant is expected to have a bachelor's degree with two years of college mathematics (calculus I through III, plus differential equations), one year of physics (calculus-based), one semester of general chemistry, one semester of modern physics (calculus-based, equivalent to Georgia Tech Phys 2213), one course in engineering-based computer programming (equivalent to Georgia Tech ME 2016), and one course in anatomy and physiology (equivalent to Georgia Tech BIOL 3751). An applicant who does not hold a bachelor’s degree in physics or applied physics is expected to have completed fundamental physics course equivalent to a minor in physics (see the ABR requirements for the Radiologic Physics Exam www.theabr.org). The applicant must show evidence of the successful completion of the above prerequisites, except the latter two courses and the equivalent minor in physics. A student not having taken these prerequisites may be admitted, however he or she will have to complete these courses during their course of study, but without getting credit toward the master's degree requirement. All applicants are required to take the GRE exam. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required. TOEFL Minimum Score Required: Paper-based: 580, Internet-based: 94, with minimum section scores of 19.
