Admitted Students

All new full-time students must attend this program. The program has two components, one from the Department of Physics and the other organized by Drexel University. During each morning there will be a computing seminar that will introduce you to programming tools needed for future class work. Most afternoons there will be short talks by faculty members in which they will describe their research. Orientation is a good time to meet your fellow students and the faculty. By the end of this period you will be on your way to tackling computing problems and have an idea of the range of research possibilities in the department. The program also includes activities with the other graduate students.

Please follow the instructions below to make sure that you register for the correct classes and number of credits. First year Ph.D. students (not post-masters) should register for 9 credits of required physics courses:

• PHYS 501 Mathematical Physics I (3 credits)
• PHYS 506 Dynamics I (3 credits)

Choose one of the following two "topical" courses:

• PHYS 626 Solid State Physics I (3 credits)
• PHYS 676 Nuclear Physics I (3 credits)
