Applied Physics Graduate Program

The Rice Applied Physics Graduate Program -- a joint effort of the School of Natural Sciences and the School of Engineering at Rice University, under the aegis of the Office of Research -- provides a truly multidisciplinary graduate education. We produce well-trained physicists who can apply their knowledge and skills in basic physics to important cutting-edge problems in diverse disciplines of modern science and engineering.

Our Applied Physics graduate students have the unique opportunity to participate in our National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Traineeship in Cavity Quantum ElectroDynamics (NRT-CQED) program. For more details click HERE.
