Reveal the Universe
Program Description
With highly advanced computational and experimental facilities at your disposal, there’s nothing to hold you back from embarking on a journey at the forefront of modern science. At Lehigh, you will engage in cutting-edge research, have access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and research facilities, and work closely with professors who are recognized internationally for their expertise.
Opportunities for specialization include:
- Astrophysics
- Atomic, molecular and optical physics
- Biophysics
- Complex fluids
- Computational physics
- Condensed matter physics
- High-energy theory and cosmology
- Photonics and Nonlinear optics
- Nuclear physics
- Statistical physics
Our graduate students initially complete a series of courses in the M.S. program, and then go on to work with a research advisor to develop a research project, publish their new scientific discoveries, write a dissertation, and finally obtain the Ph.D. degree.
Ph.D. candidates generally obtain their degree in 5 years of full-time study and research, with the possibility of adding a 6th year. During this period, students work closely with faculty and peers to carry out cutting-edge science, advance their field, contribute to scientific literature, and develop skills to tackle complex challenges.
- Please review application requirements and submission instructions here.
- To fulfill the application requirements for the physics program, please submit a total of 3 letters of recommendation.
- GREs are optional, but encouraged.
- Applications and all supporting materials are due by January 1 for fall enrollment.
