The frontier of high-energy physics is "the even smaller" and that of astrophysics is "the ever larger." Applied Physics, of which the study of condensed matter is a large part, has its own frontier, "the ever more complex," covering the interfaces of physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. The Division, with its open, interdisciplinary structure is uniquely suited for innovative research in this area.

Graduate education in physics at Harvard offers students a variety of opportunities extending over a diverse range of subjects and departments. The interdisciplinary nature of graduate research is reflected in the dissertation topics of doctoral candidates, and the fact that in many cases faculty members outside the Department of Physics serve on dissertation committees.
In keeping with the diversity of individual programs, degree requirements in... |
