Interdisciplinary Programs
- The School of Physics participates in the Interdiscplinary Ph.D. program in Quantative Biosciences that enables the discovery of scientific principles underlying the dynamics, structure, and function of living systems. Interested applicants with an undergraduate physics background should apply for the QBioS Ph.D. program but with Physics as the Home School.
- The School of Physics participates as a home unit in the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE). The CSE Ph.D. program emphasizes the integration and application of principles from mathematics, science, engineering and computing to create computational models for solving important real-world problems. Students interested in performing physics research as part of the CSE Ph.D. program must have an appropriate undergraduate physics background. Interested applicants should apply to the CSE Ph.D. program and select Physics as their home unit.
- The School of Physics collaborates with the MS Robotics program to produce industry-ready engineers and scientists with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to meet the challenges of rapidly growing interdisciplinary technologies in designing and developing robotics and automation solutions. Physics students interested in this professional MS degree (which includes a summer internship at an industrial robotic partner and a two semester long capstone project) should apply to the MS Robotics program and select Physics as their home School.
