麻省理工学院的物理系所自从二十世纪初期就成为全美国的重要资源。本系一直处在了解物质、能源和宇宙动态本质的革命中心。我们的教师：三名获得诺贝尔奖，其中二十一名是美国国家科学院的成员，几乎每一个物理领域的领导者中都有本系教师的身影。在麻省理工学院物理系的课堂或是实验室中，有十名诺贝尔奖得主和科学及工程界的世界领袖曾经在此受教。麻省理工学院物理学系的校友们也在世界各大学和学院中任教，或者是在联邦的研究实验室和各种产业界的实验室中工作。
我国许多最具竞争性的研究所都希望我们的大学部毕业生前往就读。而我们的博士班毕业生则是在博士后研究、教职工作和产业界同样的受到欢迎。
麻省理工学院的物理系所是美国最大的物理系所之一，其中一部份是因为我们包含了天文和天文物理的学门。我们的研究计划包括了理论和实验的粒子与核子物理学、宇宙物理、等离子体物理、理论和实验凝态物理、原子物理、生物物理。我们的学生（包括大学部和研究所）都有机会进行每个领域的尖端研究。
麻省理工学院的所有大学部学生生都会研习力、电、磁。除了这些之外，主修物理的学生将会接受为了更高深物理课程和其它工作所准备的进一步课程。我们的大学部学生有极多的机会可以参与研究，在四年中有时必须和两个不同的团队一起研究。

The MIT Department of Physics has been a national resource since the turn of the 20th century. Our Department has been at the center of the revolution in understanding the nature of matter and energy and the dynamics of the cosmos. Our faculty - three of whom hold Nobel Prizes and 21 of whom are members of the National Academy of Sciences - include leaders in nearly every major area of physics. World leaders in science and engineering, including 10 Nobel Prize recipients, have been educated in the physics classrooms and laboratories at MIT. Alumni of the MIT Department of Physics are to be found on the faculties of the world's major universities and colleges, as well as federal research laboratories and every variety of industrial laboratories.
Our undergraduates are sought both by industry and the nation's most competitive graduate schools. Our doctoral graduates are eagerly sought for postdoctoral and faculty positions, as well as by industry.
The MIT Physics Department is one of the largest in the nation, in part because it includes astronomy and astrophysics. Our research programs include theoretical and experimental particle and nuclear physics, cosmology and astrophysics, plasma physics, theoretical and experimental condensed-matter physics, atomic physics, and biophysics. Our students - both undergraduate and graduate - have opportunities to pursue forefront research in almost any area.
All undergraduate students at MIT study mechanics, electricity and magnetism. Beyond that, our physics majors pursue a program that provides outstanding preparation for advanced education in physics and other careers. Our undergraduates have unusual opportunities for becoming involved in research, sometimes working with two different groups during their four years at MIT.
