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 [1].
Students may wish to look at the graduate programs offered by the School of Earth and Space Exploration [2] due to the integrated nature of cosmology, astronomy, and physics.
Wishing you the best of good fortune in your research career,
