Graduate Admission
The Master of Science (MS) in Medical Physics combines a strong foundation in science and technology with varied opportunities for hands-on clinical experience through Hofstra University's partnership with the Northwell Health System. You will graduate exceptionally prepared for the next step in your academic or professional pursuits – whether you go on to earn a PhD, become a clinical medical physicist, or develop new technologies. This program can be completed in two years and is accredited by the CAMPEP (Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs). Scholarships are available for qualified candidates. In addition, we also offer an advanced certificate in Medical Dosimetry.
Hofstra’s MS in Medical Physics is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP) and in addition, hosts a CAMPEP-accredited residency program for select students to obtain board certification and practice clinical medical physics independently.
