Degree Pathway Entering with MS in Physics
For students entering Fall 2024 and beyond.
This sequence assumes the entering student has advanced preparation in the core Physics courses, which are part of the requirements for the PhD degree in Physics, including MS thesis. The Advanced Project may be waived, as done in this example, if the appropriate conditions are met. Note that the actual degree pathway depends on the particular preparation of the student, therefore this example may not be applicable to everyone.
