Overview

The Master of Science in Physics, Entrepreneurship Track is a three or four semester master's degree offered by the Department of Physics at Case Western Reserve University in conjunction with the Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Program (STEP). The program provides studies in technology innovation and state-of-the-art physics, practical business instruction, and real-world entrepreneurial experience to individuals with a bachelors, masters, or PhD in a physics-related field, including electrical and mechanical engineering.

The result: cutting-edge physicists who are empowered to innovate and commercialize technology, either as entrepreneurs creating and growing new companies or intrapreneurs working within established companies and organizations.

The award-winning curriculum is lean and flexible, and includes real-world experience in the form of an entrepreneurial project with technical content by way of creating a new venture, working as a researcher as a Commercialization Assistant, or working with an existing company as an employee or intern.

Highlights of the program include seminars, conferences, business plan competitions, extensive library databases for marketing, industry, business and science research, an Entrepreneur-in-Residence, and customizable internships. In a short period of time, the EB student can develop a formidable network of connections.
