MIT Fully Funded PhD Program in Physics

MIT offers a fully funded PhD program in Physics. The first year or so of graduate study is usually filled with course work in basic subject areas, including quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and electricity and magnetism. After completing the basic coursework students are encouraged to find a research advisor and a specific field for their research including options in: astrophysics, atomic and optical physics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, nuclear and particle physics, plasma physics and quantum information. Students are fully supported through fellowships and teaching or research assistantships.
