About the course

IU’s Department of Physics is known for conducting world-leading research across a wide portfolio of sub-disciplines in physics, while also cultivating knowledge in both graduate and undergraduate students. We pay attention to mentoring, advising, and professional development. While our research involves inquiry into vast and intractable problems, our department is interactive, friendly, and personal. In addition to coursework, students interested in pursuing a Physics Ph.D. must demonstrate their ability to do research and present a publishable thesis. A candidate should possess a broad grasp of the field of physics and be prepared to acquire teaching skills and experience while in residence at Indiana University. Research areas include astrophysics, atomic physics, biological physics, condensed matter physics, high energy physics, mathematical physics, and nuclear physics. There is a separate biophysics track with its own set of course requirements. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
