To help you prepare and search for jobs, the Missouri State Career Center provides a database of current openings, tips for preparing your résumé and on-campus interview opportunities. The Career Center also compiles information about what you can do with a master's degree in natural science. Also, our department encourages students to use resources like Physics Today and the American Physical Society as they look for jobs in their field.
