GENERAL INFORMATION:
Physics department is extremely pleased to announce the start of Ph.D. degree Program in the fall of 2010. Applicants interested in pursuing this graduate degree may start their application process in January 2010. See the links above for details for making applications, and funding opportunities. Applicants are invited to visit our campus, speak with our excellent faculty, staff and students or email the Graduate Program Director for details.
The Physics
Department
at Binghamton
University
also offers a two-year
Master's degree
in physics,
generally based
upon a research
thesis.
Physics is
also a participating
department
in the Materials
Science/ Engineering
Ph.D. program.
Additional
information
is available
under the Materials
Science Program
link given
above.
Our department
offers relatively
small classes
in the core
curriculum
of graduate
Physics. Elective
graduate courses
include Solid
State Physics,
condensed matter
physics/ materials
science, and
more specialized
seminars such
as Electronic
Thin Film Science.
Applicants
from smaller
colleges have
been successful
in our two
year program
which includes
integrated
undergraduate-graduate
quantum mechanics,
electricity
and magnetism,
and special
topics courses.
We encourage
early assimilation
of students
into research
groups.
Generally students
finish their
Masters theses after
two years.
Graduate assistantships
are available
for full-time
graduate students.
New
students usually begin
with teaching
assistantships,
though a number
of research

are also available.
National Science
Foundation
(NSF) Fellowships
are also available.
Fall funding
for graduate
applicants
will be considered

Throughout
the spring
semester, we
welcome applications
and campus
visits.
Current physics
teaching assistantships
include a stipend
of $18,000
for 9 months,
together with
a tuition waiver.
Binghamton
area living
expenses are
significantly
less than in
larger metropolitan
