Graduate Program

The goal of the Physics Graduate program is to train graduate students at the leading edge of physics research and to prepare students to become leaders in academia and in industry. The first two years of the graduate curriculum is designed to provide students with the solid foundation necessary to start research in their chosen area of specialization. Students have the opportunity to study traditional core areas of high energy and medium energy particle physics, astrophysics, biophysics or condensed matter physics, or to do interdisciplinary work at the boundaries of chemistry, biology, materials science, or engineering.
