Department of Physics Graduate Academics

The Department of Physics offers graduate students the opportunity to master fundamental concepts and techniques, from which they then develop fluency in the latest experimental and theoretical innovations in the field.

You’ll explore elements of the physical world and conduct formative research beside professors in cutting-edge fields ranging from atomic, molecular, and optical physics to quantum science and engineering. Faculty–student collaborations in advanced research labs and centers yield new knowledge that increases our understanding of the material world and positively impacts society.

Stevens’ proximity to New York City, a world-class academic, corporate, tech startup, and financial hub, connects you with leading employers on the lookout for top talent.

Master's Programs

Our department is large enough to offer rich and varied programs in pure and applied physics, yet small enough to nurture a coherent, supportive community in the pursuit of knowledge. Core courses reinforce broad skills in basic physics and elective courses provide highly specialized training in a variety of areas.

Doctoral Programs

We offer two avenues for doctoral study that deepen and broaden your understanding of technology and physical science and the latest experiential and theoretical innovations.

Graduate Certificates

Deepen your knowledge in specialized areas of study and enhance your career with one of our graduate certificate programs.
