• Master in Physics Entrepreneurship Program at Case Western Reserve University
  The program is an 18-month 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. Scholarships are available on a competitive basis, with a special fund available for current Ohio residents.
  
  The Program is in its seventh year and continues to grow, with enrollment
  reaching 20 students this year.  We traditionally have a late recruiting
  cycle, and applications are now being accepted for the fall, 2009 class.
