Physics and Engineering Physics

At Tulane University our students have a unique opportunity to combine understanding of science and engineering both in our courses and degrees. Alongside our longstanding Physics Program (science) established in 1895, we added an undergraduate Engineering Physics Program (engineering) in 2006. Students also have the option of earning a minor in Electrical, Materials, or Mechanical Engineering or a certificate in Computational Engineering. At the graduate level, we have a PhD Program in Materials Physics & Engineering and a PhD Program in Physics, along with masters programs in Materials Science & Engineering and Physics.

Both teaching and research in our department are experiencing exciting growth. Our goal is to find new and effective ways to expand and integrate cutting edge science and technology rooted in the physical sciences to meet the growing needs of widening interdisciplinary global challenges, and to provide our graduates with the advantage of this enhanced experience.

Whether you are a prospective undergraduate or graduate student, a scientist interested in postdoctoral or faculty positions, or simply browsing our website, we invite you to you visit us here in New Orleans and perhaps join our unique Physics and Engineering Physics (PEP) team here at Tulane University.
