Program Overview
- Program Description:
- Rutgers University takes great pride in the quality of its graduate program in physics and astronomy. Through a major expansion, over 25 new faculty members have been added to the department since 1984, and a new wing of the physics building was completed in 1992. With over 60 full-time faculty members and approximately 100 graduate students, the department has one of the lowest student/faculty ratios of any PhD-granting physics department in the nation. The outstanding quality of the program is reflected in the recent NRC report, in which our "faculty quality" ranking showed one of the highest levels of improvement since a decade earlier, and in the level of outside funding for research, which has grown to over $4,000,000 per year in recent years.
