Graduate Program

Thank you for your interest in the New York University Department of Physics graduate program. To the right are web links that you can follow for an overview of our graduate program and department.

Applications for admission to the Masters and Doctoral programs in Physics should be submitted to the Graduate School of Arts and Science. We encourage all applicants to review our Frequently Asked Questions page for answers to the most commonly asked questions, including how to qualify for an application fee waiver. The GRE general and subject test requirements are suspended for fall 2021 due to COVID-19. Please do not send us GRE test scores. If you do, the scores will not be reviewed or considered by the department's Admissions Committee.

If after reading our FAQ, you still have any questions, please feel free to e-mail or phone the Program Administrator, Evette Ma.

The physics department plans to offer all graduate courses (except Computational Physics and Dynamics) in hybrid mode this coming academic year. Depending on classroom constraints and as per future guidance, we may need to split the in-person students into cohorts, with one in the classroom and one remote. For students who cannot come to the department, all of our classrooms have modern, high-quality teleconferencing equipment. We will work with our computing staff to ensure that all lectures are live-streamed via Zoom, and recorded for students who may be in different time zones to watch at their convenience.
