The Condensed Matter Physics (CMP) initiative serves as a vital research pillar within the School. Recognized for its doctoral output, external accolades, and grant acquisition, the CMP team has significantly contributed to the School's prestige. U.S. News and World Report ranked it 18th nationally. Historically, the group's expertise centered on creating and analyzing distinctive nanostructured materials, though recent focus has transitioned toward quantum materials like next-gen epitaxial graphene, topological insulators/semimetals, and quantum spin liquids. The CMP maintains active partnerships across multiple Institute departments, spanning Chemistry & Biochemistry, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Qualification Requirements

You do not need to have a BS in Physics to apply to our program, but you have to have taken junior/senior level courses in Classical Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism, Quantum Mechanics, and Statistical (Thermal) Physics.

If your career plan is to do Research, you should apply directly to the Ph.D. program not the MS Program. Almost all students directly enter a Ph.D. program after earning their BS degree. Our Ph.D. students are given a Teaching Assistantship and tuition is not charged. Our MS students are given no financial support and must pay full tuition.

Official transcripts are required with the application.

The TOEFL minimum is 106 and official scores must be sent directly from ETS. Occasionally, offers are made to students with scores in the 100-105 range. If your score is less than 100, retake the TOEFL exam and raise your score.

The IELTS test minimum is 7.5, and all skills must be greater than or equal to 7.
