麻省理工學院的物理系所自從二十世紀初期就成為全美國的重要資源。本系一直處在瞭解物質、能源和宇宙動態本質的革命中心。我們的教師：三名獲得諾貝爾獎，其中二十一名是美國國家科學院的成員，幾乎每一個物理領域的領導者中都有本系教師的身影。在麻省理工學院物理系的課堂或是實驗室中，有十名諾貝爾獎得主和科學及工程界的世界領袖曾經在此受教。麻省理工學院物理學系的校友們也在世界各大學和學院中任教，或者是在聯邦的研究實驗室和各種產業界的實驗室中工作。
我國許多最具競爭性的研究所都希望我們的大學部畢業生前往就讀。而我們的博士班畢業生則是在博士後研究、教職工作和產業界同樣的受到歡迎。
麻省理工學院的物理系所是美國最大的物理系所之一，其中一部份是因為我們包含了天文和天文物理的學門。我們的研究計畫包括了理論和實驗的粒子與核子物理學、宇宙物理、電漿物理、理論和實驗凝態物理、原子物理、生物物理。我們的學生（包括大學部和研究所）都有機會進行每個領域的尖端研究。
麻省理工學院的所有大學部學生生都會研習力、電、磁。除了這些之外，主修物理的學生將會接受為了更高深物理課程和其它工作所準備的進一步課程。我們的大學部學生有極多的機會可以參與研究，在四年中有時必須和兩個不同的團隊一起研究。

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.
