物理学哲学博士

物理系提供两个博士学位课程：本页上介绍的物理博士和具有天体物理学重点的物理博士。我们物理学博士的核心要素 该计划是由学生在教师研究顾问的密切监督下进行的研究。为了为研究生职业的这个关键阶段做准备，学生需要学习一年的课程，包括物理学，经典力学，电磁学，量子力学和统计力学的基本领域，以及至少三门四分之一的高级主题课程。 。通常，这些课程与学生的研究兴趣紧密相关，但是对于理论家来说，至少有一个课程必须位于不同的领域。尚未晋升为候选人的学生每季度与学院的研究生顾问会面，后者会提供有关选择课程，升读学位，准备晋升为
The Physics Department offers two PhD programs: a Physics PhD, described here on this page, and a Physics PhD with an Astrophysics Emphasis. The central element in our Physics Ph.D. program is research conducted by students under the close supervision of a faculty Research Advisor. To prepare for this key stage of their graduate career, students take a full year of course work in basic areas of physics, classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics, as well as at least three one-quarter courses in advanced topics. Typically these courses are closely related to the student's research interest, but for theorists, at least one must be in a different area. Students not yet advanced to candidacy meet quarterly with the Faculty Graduate Advisor who provides guidance on selecting courses, progressing to degree, preparing for advancement to candidacy, selecting a research advisor, and on any issues that influence the student's academic progress. Graduate students should secure a research advisor by no later than the beginning of their third year, and preferably earlier. By the end of Winter quarter of the third year, each student must pass the advancement to candidacy examination, after which the primary focus is research and work on a dissertation.
