The BYU Special Education MS program prepares graduates to provide collaborative leadership in schools to facilitate the academic and social development of all students, including individuals with disabilities with challenging behavior. The program includes a verified course sequence to prepare graduates to become Board Certified Behavior Analysts. In addition, graduates learn about systemic approaches to creating equitable and effective learning environments through a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), Response to Intervention (RTI), and Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). The masters program is open to teachers, special and general educators, as well as students from other disciplines. Classes are offered in the evening to accommodate teachers’ work schedules during fall, winter, and spring semesters.

The EdS degree in school psychology prepares students to pursue credentialing as school psychologists in Pre-K – 12 educational settings and is approved by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) through December 2026. Knowledge and competency areas include data-based decision-making, consultation and collaboration with teachers and parents, academic interventions and instructional supports, mental and behavioral health services and interventions, school-wide practices to support learning, services to promote safe and supportive schools, family-school-community collaboration, equitable practices for diverse populations, research and evidence-based practice, and legal, ethical and professional practice.

We strongly recommend that you have an MS degree in IP&T or related field prior to applying for the PhD program. If you currently do not have an MS degree, we encourage you to first apply for the MS program and then apply for the PhD towards the end of your MS degree. Those with MS degrees in IP&T are much more competitive for advanced study. Starting as an MS student will not slow down your progress because all the core coursework required for the MS is also required for the PhD. Up to 36 credits (of the total 39) can be applied from our MS program to the PhD requirements. (We can also accept up to 36 credits from a comparable graduate program under the discretion of the department chair.)

The design and evaluation specialization of the MS program prepares students to assume professional positions in instructional design and/or evaluation. All MS students will be required to complete at least 12 credit hours each year to remain enrolled in the program (prior to completing project coursework).

The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers a doctoral degree in Physics and Astronomy. Physics and Astronomy PhD students take graduate-level courses in astronomy, astrophysics or other related topics and perform original research culminating in a written dissertation. Tuition, insurance and stipend are typically provided to each student for 4 – 5 years. See https://physics.byu.edu/graduate/ for more details.

The application deadline for full consideration in the program is January 15 of each year. Applications may be submitted past this deadline but will only be reviewed after the review of on-time applications have been completed.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers a masters degree in Physics, with a broad range of possible specialty areas including astronomy, acoustics, physics education, atomic physics, condensed matter physics, optics, bio-physics, computational physics and others. Masters students take courses related to their area of focus and perform original research culminating in a written thesis. Tuition, insurance and stipend are typically provided to each student for 2 – 3 years. See https://physics.byu.edu/graduate for more details.

MS students study mathematics courses in preparation for careers in business, industry, government, or education. Other students use a master’s degree in mathematics in preparation for a doctoral degree in mathematics or a closely related discipline or a discipline where technical competence is appreciated. Master’s students graduate in an average of two years.

The PhD program requires about four years beyond a master’s degree. The topic for a PhD dissertation may be chosen from faculty specialties, which include applied mathematics, algebraic geometry, geometric analysis, dynamical systems, number theory, geometric and low-dimensional topology, mathematical biology, group theory, algebra, and operations research.
Pursuit of the MS degree not only helps prepare students for exciting career opportunities in areas of distinct benefit to mankind, but it also allows them to experience the challenges and rewards of modern scientific research. It is expected that the thesis work will culminate in new understanding of a problem of scientific significance and that results will be published in a reputable scientific journal.
