We offer two programs of study. Our doctoral program has been awarding Ph.D.s in Physics since 1899, and is currently training over 175 students in all areas of physics. Our MS in Physics-Quantum Computing (MSPQC) has been awarding degrees since 2020

Our program, which offers a Ph.D. in experimental and theoretical condensed matter physics and biophysics, emphasizes active learning — with research beginning in a student’s first semester.

The Department of Astronomy at Indiana University Bloomington offers M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Astronomy, and, jointly with the Department of Physics, a Ph.D. degree in Astrophysics.

Educating the Next Generation of Scientists

The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers Masters of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees.

The College of Science physics program equips you with what we know about our universe — theories on matter, the forces, space, and time — so you can reach into the unknown and answer the question… why?

The Department of Physics offers undergraduate programs leading to both BS and BA degrees. The Bachelor of Arts program offers a specialization in physics to students desiring a general cultural education.

Our professors advise and collaborate with our graduate students, offering the personal attention necessary for students to reach their fullest potential. Physics graduate students have landed positions at highly-prestigious organizations.
