Now Accepting Applications to the Applied Physics Graduate Program at Northwestern University

The Applied Physics Graduate Program at Northwestern University is a hub for collaboration between the departments of Physics & Astronomy, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Earth & Planetary Sciences, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, and Materials Science & Engineering. This joint program between the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences offers PhD research opportunities for graduate students with a strong undergraduate background in Physics. The program is designed to prepare graduates for professional careers in science and technology, either in academics or in industry. It also seeks to ensure that graduates recognize and take advantage of scientific and technological opportunities wherever they may arise.

The Applied Physics Program is designed to allow students to complete their PhD studies in as little as five years. Students can complete all of the required courses during the first year, allowing them to focus their efforts on research starting in spring of the first year. Unlike programs based in a single department, Applied Physics students can take advantage of the scholarships, learning opportunities, and other resources offered by both the McCormick School of Engineering and the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences.
