The Department of Physics provides graduate programs culminating in Master of Arts, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Students pursuing advanced degrees can engage in thesis research across diverse fields including experimental, computational, and theoretical condensed matter physics, optical physics, biophysics, high energy physics, astrophysics, and physics education research. The department also offers specialized tracks for those preparing for undergraduate teaching careers, with both thesis and non-thesis options available for M.S. and M.A. candidates.
A dynamic colloquium series features prominent physicists presenting cutting-edge research, while students are encouraged to join specialized seminars that explore research findings and advanced topics within each major research focus area.
Within this compact department's collaborative atmosphere, physics graduate students work closely with faculty members—many of whom are early-career researchers educated at leading global institutions—across various investigative domains.
