Doctor's degrees in Physics, General: A general program that focuses on the scientific study of matter and energy, and the formulation and testing of the laws governing the behavior of the matter-energy continuum. Includes instruction in classical and modern physics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, mechanics, wave properties, nuclear processes, relativity and quantum theory, quantitative methods, and laboratory methods.
In order to earn the Ph.D. degree in applied physics, a graduate student must earn a total of at least
60 semester hours of credit including 15 semester hours in the area of general physics. In addition to
this, a student must pass a departmental qualifying examination before completing 24 semester
hours of graduate credits and must also pass a departmental candidacy examination before being
considered as a Ph.D. candidate. Also, the student must...
The Ph.D. program analyzes political economic, institutionalist, post-Keynesian
and feminist perspectives as well as traditional neoclassical theory. The program
is also distinguished by its emphasis on empirical methods and analysis. Combined,
these two elements provide students with a broad range of skills and theoretical
frameworks.
Our DC location gives students additional opportunities to hone these skills
while still in graduate school,...
A student enters the doctoral program upon faculty recommendation after passing the Ph.D. comprehensive examination. Upon entering the doctoral program, each student shall select a field of specialization and establish a working relationship with a member of the faculty. With the approval of a faculty member, who normally shall be the principal advisor, the student shall inform the Chairperson of his/her major field selection and the Chairperson shall...
The Department of Physics offers programs leading to a Ph.D. with an optional M.A. degree in physics. The department offers research opportunities in experimental high-energy and medium-energy physics, particle astrophysics, theoretical particle physics and cosmology, molecular biophysics, experimental biophysics and condensed matter physics, and theoretical condensed matter, polymer, and statistical physics.
The requirements for admission into candidacy and the Ph.D. are: Two terms of Ph 242 Physics Seminar and an attempt at both CP and QM written candidacy exams by the end of first year. The basic requirement of both written exams and the advanced physics course requirements successfully completed by the end of second year. The oral candidacy exam by the end of third year. Completed program and thesis defense by the end of fifth year, or beyond with...
The graduate program in the field of Applied Physics at Cornell Univerty is a research-oriented doctoral program that is designed to provide a flexible graduate education tailored to individual interests. It combines a core physics curriculum with research and study in one of several areas that deal either with the application of physics to a technical discipline or with the interface between physics and another area of science. Students who have...
The frontier of high-energy physics is "the even smaller" and that of astrophysics is "the ever larger." Applied Physics, of which the study of condensed matter is a large part, has its own frontier, "the ever more complex," covering the interfaces of physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. The Division, with its open, interdisciplinary structure is uniquely suited for innovative research in this area.
