Graduate education in physics at Harvard offers students a variety of opportunities extending over a diverse range of subjects and departments. The interdisciplinary nature of graduate research is reflected in the dissertation topics of doctoral candidates, and the fact that in many cases faculty members outside the Department of Physics serve on dissertation committees.
In keeping with the diversity of individual programs, degree requirements in...
The emphasis of both the undergraduate curriculum and the graduate program is on understanding the fundamental principles that appear to govern the behavior of the physical world, from phenomena in the small-scale domain of subatomic particles to the large-scale structure of the universe, spanning a spatial range stretching from 10-18 m to 1026 m. At each level of structural organization, active and exciting areas of investigation abound. Topics range...
Graduate education in physics at Princeton is based on the premise that the Ph.D. is a research degree. The program has two main goals: the development of a broad background in basic physics, and, through the completion of a thesis, the expansion of research abilities in a more specialized area. The success of the program can be judged by the large number of first-rate theses that our students have written. Our students are prepared for careers in...
Our graduate program allows graduate students in all disciplines of physics to select a research advisor without regard for the particular advisor's affiliation. Every student is encouraged to arrange an appropriate physics research topic independent of the particular Stanford program or department in which the advisor resides. As a result, some of our graduate students have their thesis advisors in Applied Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering,...
The Ph.D. is the primary graduate degree offered by our department. The degree is granted upon completion of an original and significant investigation in physics or astronomy, which must be presented in a written dissertation and defended in a final oral examination.
In the first year, most students enroll in formal courses in the subjects covered by the preliminary examination. The department requires all students to take a seminar which provides...
Fields include areas of theoretical and experimental condensed-matter physics, optical and laser physics, and material physics. Specific programs include surface science, microlithography and quantum transport, optical properties of micro-cavities, spectroscopy at the nanoscale, near-field microscopy, atomic force microscopy and ferro-electronic materials, molecular beam epitaxy, mesoscopic physics, first principles electronic structure methods, and...
Over the last three centuries, the study of physics has revealed a world remarkably united around a small set of fundamental laws and basic forces of nature. These laws govern phenomena as varied as the behavior of subatomic particles and the motion of galaxies, making the study of physics a basic foundation for all the physical and life sciences.
At Yale, theorists and experimentalists explore and test these physical laws and search for new phenomena...
UMUC offered its first distance education courses in 1972. Today, more than 30 percent of our students are enrolled in courses that do not require on-site class attendance. The Internet serves as their link to the university.
