About

The Applied Physics and Materials Science program of the Northern Arizona University prepares graduates for meaningful and fulfilling careers in the application of physics or materials science to critical areas of national need.

Overview

Purpose Statement

The creation of the Applied Physics and Materials Science program of the Northern Arizona University will position NAU to attract students to a unique state program.  Students within this research-intensive PhD program may pursue emphasis in either: Applied Physics (e.g. condensed matter physics, application of quantum phenomena to materials) or Materials Science (e.g. interfacial science, soft or hard materials synthesis, analytical method development).  Each student within the program will complete common courses to provide the students with a breadth of knowledge in physics and materials science, while also creating a common language for scientific collaboration.  Each student may then focus their area of coursework study with electives taken within or external to the program.

The Applied Physics and Materials Science PhD program, with institutional support, will have a launch date of Fall, 2019.  This new academic plan will be supported within the College of Engineering, Informatics and Applied Sciences, however academic mentors to PhD students will be from units within CEAIS and CEFNS.   Students completing their PhD in this program will be conferred a degree in Applied Physics and Materials Science, with emphases in Applied Physics or Materials Science.
