Physics
The Department of Physics at Washington University in St. Louis aims to prepare its graduate students for a broad range of careers, from academia and teaching to high-tech and industry. Students first develop a solid and broad base of physics knowledge through our core curriculum and departmental colloquia. Upper level courses and departmental seminar series provide more specialized exposure. Learning and research take place in both formal and informal settings with a wide range of colleagues, including faculty members, postdoctoral fellows, research scientists, and graduate student peers.
