This interdisciplinary program is linked to the Laufer Center for Quantitative Biology. Students typically declare their interest in this specialization by the end of their first semester at the latest. Delaying this choice may lead to scheduling setbacks. Key distinctions from the standard physics program include a reduced core curriculum by one course, with mandatory physical biology classes replacing it. Rather than participating in the graduate lab, students complete rotations with Laufer Center faculty members. Additionally, the Graduate Seminar is replaced by the Laufer Center Journal Club. The Physics and Astronomy Department within the College of Arts and Sciences provides academic programs and research opportunities primarily leading to a Ph.D. The M.A. degree serves either as a final qualification or as an intermediate step toward the Ph.D. For those focused on research instrumentation, the department offers a Master of Science in Scientific Instrumentation. Aspiring high school physics teachers can pursue a Master of Arts in Teaching through the School of Professional Development.

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.
