物理学哲学博士

克拉克（Clark）的研究生教育风格最适合那些希望独立，愿意努力工作并且希望与教师保持紧密联系的学生。克拉克提供的机会很少见于其他地方。克拉克物理学研究生课程与美国大多数其他物理学研究生课程不同，因为我们的规模和风格鼓励研究生在他们的第一学期就开始从事研究。因此，大多数学生会尽早从课堂工作过渡到参与研究的更积极的学习过程。我们的正规课程用于发展物理核心领域的能力，并帮助教师评估学生在正规课堂中的熟练程度。我们不是通过书面的资格考试，而是通过一系列的口试来鼓励学生的直觉和简单思考能力的发展。由于我们强调早期
Our program, which offers a Ph.D. in experimental and theoretical condensed matter physics and biophysics, emphasizes active learning - with research beginning in a student's first semester. This style, combined with our intimate size and the access students have to equipment not usually found at a university of our size, builds independence in a supportive, collaborative environment.<br><br>The physics doctoral program seeks independent students who are willing to work hard and collaborate closely with our world-class faculty, postdoctoral research associates, visiting scholars, and undergraduate students.<br><br>The program's intimate size within a small, urban research university allows for interdisciplinary work with our research partners in biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, chemistry, and mathematics and computer science. As such, there's a sense of community and shared purpose among our diverse group of students in and outside of our labs and research groups.
