Degree Programs and Courses

Degree programs with substantial content options in Quantum Science and Engineering

• Applied Physics: M.Eng., M.S., Ph.D.
• Chemistry: B.S., M.S., Ph.D.
• Electrical and Computer Engineering: B.S., M.Eng., Ph.D.
• Engineering Physics: B.S.
• Materials Science and Engineering: B.S., M.Eng., Ph.D.
• Physics: B.S., Ph.D.

How to apply

• For B.S. programs, see https://admissions.cornell.edu/
• For M.S., M.Eng., and Ph.D., admissions are done at the level of individual graduate fields, so prospective students should apply to the degree and field that is most appropriate given their background and interests; see https://gradschool.cornell.edu/admissions/
  • For example, if one’s undergraduate training is in Physics, then the Applied Physics or Physics Ph.D. programs may be the best match, or if one’s undergraduate training is in Electrical Engineering, then the ECE Ph.D. program may be most appropriate.
  • Note that Cornell faculty are generally able to advise students from departments other than their own and it is typical for a professor’s group to have students from several different departments (including departments not listed above, such as Computer Science or Mathematics), especially in an interdisciplinary topic like Quantum Science and Engineering.
• For postdoctoral opportunities, candidates should contact individual faculty members directly.
