Our Ph.D. program offers an exciting intellectual climate and a strong emphasis on research that advances the frontiers of physics. Our two M.S. programs (with thesis and without) prepare students to continue on to a Ph.D. degree or pursue career options.

Students in all of our programs learn from and work alongside our exceptional faculty in state-of-the-art facilities. Our graduate students win awards, author articles in prestigious journals and make significant contributions to their fields. They go on to become alumni who distinguish themselves in a wide variety of career fields.
