The Northeastern University Department of Physics provides opportunities for graduate students to work with internationally recognized faculty in a diverse range of front-line research programs in condensed matter physics, molecular biophysics, and elementary particle physics.
The Department of Physics offers full-time Ph.D. programs and full- and part-time programs leading to an M.S. degree with opportunities for individually designed programs. Thesis research can be undertaken in any one of the department's research specialties or in interdisciplinary areas such as materials physics, chemical physics, biophysics, or applied engineering physics. A further option allows cooperative research to be done at high-technology industrial, government, national, or international laboratories and at medical research institutions in the Boston area. The graduate program in physics is committed to providing an effective education to students with a variety of backgrounds and preparations in physics and related subjects. All graduate students receive considerable faculty and peer support
