天文学哲学博士

俄亥俄州立大学天文学系为对观测或理论天体物理学或天文仪器感兴趣的学生提供了一流的博士学位课程。我们非常重视研究。学生到达后便立即开始研究项目，我们鼓励他们在研究生教育期间与几个不同的研究顾问一起工作。我们即将毕业的学生通常撰写或合着8-15篇推荐的期刊文章。我们的一年级和二年级学生已经是活跃的研究人员：发表论文，参加会议，进行演讲，进行观察跑步以及在仪器实验室工作。在完成第二年的学习之前，学生通常会发表一两篇论文，通常至少是第一作者。天文学是一个紧密联系的部门，气氛活跃，并且学生与教职员工之间每天都有大量
The Ohio State Department of Astronomy offers a superb PhD program for students interested in observational or theoretical astrophysics or astronomical instrumentation. We place a strong emphasis on research. Students begin work on research projects as soon as they arrive, and we encourage them to work with several different research advisors during the course of their graduate education. Our graduating students have typically authored or co-authored 8-15 refereed journal articles. Our 1st- and 2nd-year students are already active researchers: publishing papers, attending conferences, giving talks, going on observing runs, and working in the instrument lab. Students typically publish one or two papers, usually at least one first-author, before completing their second year. Astronomy is a close-knit department with a lively atmosphere and a great deal of daily contact between students and faculty. Faculty contact comes naturally through research supervision and classes, but also through Daily Astronomy Coffee, weekly journal clubs and colloquia, student-organized reading groups, and many informal events. Students at Ohio State have more opportunity to learn from close interaction with faculty than they would in virtually any other astronomy program. As a result, many students work in more than one area before (and after) settling on a dissertation topic.
