The Department of Physics and Astronomy within the College of Arts and Sciences provides academic programs and research opportunities primarily leading to a Ph.D. Students can earn an M.A. either as a final degree or while progressing toward their doctorate. For those focused on research instrumentation, the Master of Science in Scientific Instrumentation program is available. Aspiring high school physics teachers can pursue a Master of Arts in Teaching through the School of Professional Development. Additional specialized opportunities exist in fields like Medical Physics, Chemical Physics, Atmospheric and Climate Modeling, Materials Science, and through collaborations with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Faculty members teach a diverse range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional development courses, including timely special topics. Graduate students complete one year of teaching experience, with minimal course requirements to enable personalized study plans. Early research involvement is encouraged, with thesis work typically starting by the third year. The Ph.D. program generally takes four to six years, while the Master's in Scientific Instrumentation requires two years including a thesis project. The M.A. can be finished in two semesters plus one summer term.

Qualification Requirements
For admission to graduate study in Physics and Astronomy the following, in addition to the minimum Graduate School requirements, are required:
A. A bachelor's degree in physics or a closely related field from an accredited institution. In the case of the M.Sc. in Quantum Information Science and Technology the degree must be in science and engineering, but need not be in physics or a closely related field.
B. A minimum grade average of B in all undergraduate coursework, and B or better in the sciences and mathematics.
C. Acceptance by the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Graduate School.
In special cases, a student not meeting requirement A (or, in unusual cases, requirement B) may be admitted on a provisional basis, without financial support. Upon admission, the student will be informed of the requirements that must be satisfied for termination of provisional status.
IELTS: Overall score of 6.5, with no subsection recommended to be below 6
TOEFL: 80 for Master's level, 90 for admission to a doctoral program and to be eligible for consideration for TA/GA support
An applicant must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.00 on a 4.00 point scale.
