Our undergraduate program is excellent preparation for careers in industry and the private sector or graduate school. We offer a variety of degree options: Physics B.A., Physics B.S., Applied Physics B.S., and a Physics minor. Our comprehensive graduate program immerses students in exciting research as part of their master's or Ph.D. degree, and includes an APS-sponsored M.S.-to-Ph.D. bridge program.

The Physics Graduate Program will not require general or subject GRE scores for graduate applications for current applications. To ensure fairness GRE scores will be removed from applications before review by the admissions committee.

Nationally ranked groups in our department carry out research in particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, cosmology, condensed matter physics and material science, biophysics, and accelerator physics. Research activities are channeled via institutes and centers such as the Nuclear Theory Center, the Center for Spacetime Symmetries, the Center for Exploration of Energy and Matter (CEEM), and the Quantum Science and Engineering Center.
