PhD candidates must pass a candidacy examination, written
and oral; satisfy a one-year residence requirement; and perform original
research, write a satisfactory thesis describing that research, and defend
this thesis in an oral examination. The usual schedule for physics graduate
students consists of two years of course work, qualifying exams, research
training and dissertation research. It is required by the university
that a graduate student complete the PhD degree within seven years
after enrollment. The program expects that most students can complete
the PhD in five years of coursework and research
work beyond the master’s requirement of 45 credits.
