物理学哲学博士

通常是博士学位 学生主要将第一年的时间用于基础课程，并在抵达后的1月1日参加资格考试。学生应在第二年开始参与一个研究项目，并且在通过资格考试后，必须在六个月内向委员会介绍研究项目的开始。该演示文稿通常会变成一篇论文，但学生并不局限于此，以后可以切换到另一个项目甚至是另一个研究领域。通常，每年有5-10名候选人被录取为博士学位课程，并获得财务支持。物理学研究生课程强调研究工作，但也包括教学经验作为基本要素。目前在天体物理学和宇宙学，大气和海洋光学，复杂性，凝聚态物理，基本粒子论，等离子物理领域中都有研究和论
The Department of Physics offers programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, and both thesis and non-thesis M.S. tracks are available. However, preference in admission will be given to Students seeking a Ph.D. degree. Usually a Ph.D. student devotes the first year mostly to basic courses, and takes the qualifying exam at the first January following his arrival. Students should become involved with a research project by the second year, and after passing the qualifying exam, must present the beginnings of a research project to a committee within six months. This presentation will normally turn into a dissertation, but the student is not bound to it and can switch to another project or even another area of research later. Typically 5-10 candidates are admitted to the PhD program every year and are offered financial support.
