CoursesThe minimum coursework requirements are determined by the student's research area. Each emphasis area requires both core courses and one or more electives as follows: Physics
The course requirements include completion of 3 core courses within the first 4 semesters, and 3 electives anytime within the duration of the PhD study. In addition, we require attending 4 semesters of PHYS 293, which is the Physics Seminar series. The electives include PHYS 238, PHYS 205 and any other PHYS 2xx courses which may be offered in the future. Courses offered by other graduate programs (Applied Math, QSB, BEST, etc.) may also be included in the list of electives. Any elective must be at least 3 units and we require at least one elective be a course outside the student's primary research area, which can be selected by discussion with the student's thesis advisor or the graduate group advisor for Physics. Click here for a summary of these requirements and a timeline. A student may ask for postponement/extension of the timeline described above but to do so will require the permission of the graduate group advisor for Physics. Physical Chemistry
Organic Chemistry
Course electives must be regular graduate courses (not independent study) and require approval of the major professor. Requirements for formal course work beyond the minimum are flexible and are determined by the individual student’s background and research topic in consultation with the major professor. |
