Testimonial:

I am lucky and proud to have called the University of Miami Department of Physics home for the better part of a decade. There, I had the privilege of learning innumerable fascinating secrets of the Universe from an elite cadre of teaching professors, who expertly craft their courses to stimulate great wonder in the inquisitive minds of their students. The departmental culture perfectly combines the University's world-renowned brand and R1 status with the department's relatively small size, resulting in a vibrant, close-knit community of professors, students, and administrators. My education at the University of Miami Department of Physics was an absolutely incomparable experience that I will always remember, and forever value, throughout all of my future endeavors.
