OSU Physics: Information for prospective graduate students

Printer-friendly version

World-class research and learning Graduate students in physics at OSU have the opportunity to study and conduct research in close collaboration with faculty in the informal environment of a relatively small department. A young energetic faculty trained in some of the world’s top physics programs lead investigations in a range of research areas. Our faculty have been awarded 3 NSF CAREER Awards in the last 8 years!
Individual attention The Department is proud of its ability to provide individual attention to graduate students and to tailor students' degree programs to their needs and interests. Graduate core and specialized subjects are taught by dedicated, award-winning teachers, and have about 10 students per class.
State of the art facilities Research is central to the graduate program and students benefit from department facilities such as state-of-the-art laser systems, computational clusters, pulsed laser deposition, single molecule fluorescence microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, microfabrication equipment and central electron microscopy facilities.
The Oregon lifestyle Almost all entering students are offered full financial support as Graduate Assistants. Oregon State University is located in Corvallis, a medium-sized city located in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon. The climate is mild, with warm, dry summers. To the west, the Pacific coast of Oregon can be reached in about an hour while the Cascade mountains, less than two hours away to the east, are available for hiking, skiing, and other mountain activities.
