THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AT UCSC offers students an outstanding academic experience. A national survey ranked the overall satisfaction with the physics graduate program at UCSC the highest in the nation. [More]

In a report by the Institute for Scientific Information, UCSC Physics' professional papers had the highest citation rate of any university physics department in the country. With our close connection to the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics (SCIPP) and scientific associations with Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) at Stanford, the UC Observatories, and various x-ray and neutron scattering centers at national laboratories we continue to provide exceptional research opportunities to our students.
