Some degree programs (majors and minors) at Oregon State University will be eliminated as a result of mandatory budget cuts. The MS program in Applied Physics is one of the programs. Students who currently have declared this major will be permitted to complete their degree. These students should continue to work with the Head Graduate Adviser to make sure that their program fulfills all degree requirements. New students will not be admitted into the Applied Physics program. This implies that we cannot accept new students into the Applied Physics track of our Professional Science Masters Program.
