Graduate Studies
Thank you for your interest in graduate studies in the Department of Physics at Arizona State University. We are excited to offer students a unique graduate experience within our modernized and interdisciplinary graduate program. We aim to provide a customized program for each student, with research components from the very first semester. The department’s internationally recognized research covers a broad range of topics at the cutting edge. We have vigorous doctoral and master’s level research programs in:
- Biological physics.
- Electron diffraction and imaging.
- Nanoscale and materials physics.
- Particle physics and astrophysics.
Arizona State University, a Research-I institution, is one of the largest universities in the U.S. with over 65,000 students. The Phoenix area is home to many high-tech industries with major research/fabrication facilities; examples include Motorola, Intel, Honeywell and Boeing. Even with this high level of activity, the Department of Physics remains a friendly and personal department in which to pursue an advanced degree. We encourage you to join our highly competitive, modern and interdisciplinary physics graduate program in the fastest-growing city in the United States.
We look forward to receiving your application. For more information on our program, use the menu at left or download our Graduate Handbook.
Students may wish to look at the graduate programs offered by the School of Earth and Space Exploration due to the integrated nature of cosmology, astronomy, and physics.
Wishing you the best of good fortune in your research career,
