We offer an exciting new Masters degree to prepare students to work in the rapidly growing area of Quantum Information Science and Technology.
The degree features several customized courses in QIST and also allow students to take a number of relevant courses that are already offered in Physics and other departments across our campus. It also features a research component that may be satisfied through research on-campus, at Brookhaven National Laboratory, or through a internship with an industrial partner.
Prospective students should have an undergraduate degree in Science or Engineering, but need not be Physics Majors.
