The Maryland Experimental High Energy Physics team investigates the characteristics and behaviors of fundamental particles in nature. Our current comprehension of the cosmos across vast and minute scales (in terms of both energy and distance) has resulted in a theoretical structure known as the Standard Model. The University of Maryland's Physics Department ranks among the country's most extensive. Delving into over 30 physics disciplines, our professors and students collaborate on pioneering research at the forefront of modern physics. Combined with a demanding academic program and our advantageous position near Washington D.C., this robust research initiative creates the basis for an exceptional learning environment. Our undergraduate students are highly recruited by top-tier graduate institutions and competitive employers, while our graduate students progress to rewarding positions in government, private sector, and academic institutions.

The University of Maryland Department of Physics has a strong national and international reputation, and receives a large number of applications each year from well-qualified students. Consequently, admission to the graduate degree program is quite selective.

Students who enter the graduate program are normally expected to have strong backgrounds in physics, including intermediate-level courses in mechanics, electricity and magnetism, physical optics, quantum physics, and thermodynamics. Prior research experience and strong letters of recommendation are highly valued. Good preparation in mathematics is also desirable, especially for students who may pursue theoretical physics research.
