The graduate program in physics is designed for the student who desires to master fundamental concepts and techniques, who is interested in studying applications in various areas of technology and science and who wishes to keep abreast of the latest experimental and theoretical innovations in these areas. We offer a varied curriculum consisting of either highly specialized courses or broad training in diverse areas.
When you seek an advanced degree, you can gain both breadth and specialization. The required degree courses provide broad skills in basic physics; the elective choices give highly specialized training in a variety of different areas. The Department of Physics and Engineering Physics is large enough to offer rich and varied programs in pure and applied physics, yet it is small enough to sustain the sense of a coherent community in search of knowledge.
ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
B.S. degree in physics or equivalent including the following
coursework: calculus-based three- or four-semester introductory
physics sequence, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism,
mechanics, quantum mechanics and mathematical methods.
Ph.D. applicants lacking the above courses are required to take the
indicated courses for no graduate credit. Graduate Record Examination
including the Physics Subject Exam.
INTERDISCIPLINARY CONCENTRATION:
Microelectronics and Photonics Science and Technology
The Physics and Engineering Physics program offers, jointly with
Electrical and Computer Engineering (EE) and Materials Engineering, a
unique interdisciplinary concentration in Microelectronics and
Photonics Science and Technology. Intended to meet the needs of
students and of industry in the areas of design, fabrication,
integration and applications of microelectronic and photonic devices
for communications and information systems, the program covers
fundamentals as well as state-of-the-art industrial practices.
Designed for maximum flexibility, the program accommodates the
background and interests of students with either a master's degree or
graduate certificate.
