Combat Systems Science and Engineering Your Path

Degree Masters in Applied Physics 8 quarters Core graduate courses (3000 and 4000 series) in Theoretical Physics Mechanics Electricity and Magnetism Quantum Mechanics Plus Track courses in: Sensors or Weapons or Acoustics

JPME If you are an Unrestricted Line Officer (URL), you are required to complete the Joint Professional Military Education Sequence (JPME) There are four: NW3230, NW3275, NW3276, NW3285 If you are an ED you are only required to take NW3230, but can opt to take the entire sequence if desired If you are in another service (Army, etc.) War College courses are at your discretion International students do not take JPME courses

P-Code For USN students, the primary goal for postgraduate education is to obtain a P-Code. The CSSE matrix, in addition to core masters physics courses, is populated with PC (P-Code) courses. These courses are required to meet the curriculum sponsor s Educational Skills Requirements (ESR) for the P-Code.

Tracks Sometime in your second quarter, you will need to select what track you choose to take: Acoustics Sensors Weapons This will add an additional 4 to 5 coursed to your course matrix.

Acoustics Track PH3119: Oscillations and Waves PH3451: Fundamental Acoustics PH3452: Underwater Acoustics PH4454: Sonar Transducer Theory and Design PH4455: Sound Propagation in the Ocean
