Immerse yourself in applied physics research and quantum information sciences in the physics bachelor’s program at Stevens.
Not only do the laws of physics govern the universe, they drive many rapidly-advancing fields that shape modern daily life, such as information technology, medical technology, microelectronics, and telecommunications.
The physics bachelor’s program at Stevens prepares you for a career in industry or research in these areas by laying a solid foundation of both theory and practice through rigorous classroom instruction and hands-on research experience in optics and quantum information in one of several state-of-the-art research laboratories. You’ll be immersed in research early on in your studies, and participate in a six-semester design sequence called SKIL (Science Knowledge Integration Ladder), where you will work on projects that foster independent learning, innovative problem solving, collaboration, teamwork, and knowledge integration under the guidance of a faculty advisor.
The Bachelor of Science program in physics is accredited by the by the Middle States Accreditation Board.

Mentors. Research. New York City. Being at Stevens felt like I was always in the action of something.
It felt that they wanted me to be prepared for the ‘real world’ by exposing me to as much research and knowledge as possible so that I graduated with a clear path of what I wanted to do in mind.
I built strong relationships with the faculty, which also came in handy when I needed recommendation letters. They knew me really well and could attest to my drive and passion.
It was a relief knowing I had multiple fields to “try on” during my studies.
We are a smaller department which has resulted in a family-like atmosphere. I know all my professors personally and never feel like I’m alone in my studies.
Because of the program’s guidance, I was able to land an internship every summer since my freshman year, giving me diverse research experience before grad school.
These labs have made the transition to research more seamless.
In this time of uncertainty, a lot of recent graduates are scrambling to find jobs but thanks to Stevens, I’ve never had an issue finding my place in the workforce.
I know that all of my success at those jobs were thanks to the outstanding education provided by the Stevens Physics program.
I’ve always been able to go to a professor for anything from classwork to personal struggles. I truly would not be who I am today without the support and mentorship of the Stevens Physics faculty.
Stevens undergraduate programs give students the opportunity to learn by doing with hands-on and real world education around building engineering solutions, applying for patents, and becoming an entrepreneur.
Stevens offers all undergraduate students the opportunity to pursue co-op programs and internships.
Students begin using their engineering knowledge to apply projects to real world problems during their senior design capstone.
The senior design capstone culminates with Stevens' annual Innovation Expo, where seniors show and pitch their engineering projects and business ideas.
Stevens' focus on entrepreneurial thinking stretches beyond the classroom through programs that help innovators turn technology into game-changing businesses.
