Overview

Our Physics program at Case Western Reserve University has three main focuses: (1) particle astrophysics and cosmology, (2) hard condensed matter physics with an emphasis on quantum phenomena and devices, and (3) soft condensed matter physics and biophysics.

Features

Here, you can build your course schedule from a large array of offerings in physics and related science and engineering departments, all while preparing to become a physicist, astronomer, or university professor, or to enter another profession.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

In our program, you’ll dive into topics such as nanoscopic physics, ultrafast spectroscopy, optical materials and optoelectronic devices, surface science, and exciting new opportunities in biophysics and biomaterials.

You can complete our program in about five and a half years—and can expect to be supported fully for the duration of your program through teaching assistantships, research assistantships, or fellowships.

In fact, all our admitted students are offered financial support for a stipend and tuition, and we don’t admit students unless we believe they have good prospects for success in our program—and beyond.
