Overview

For students meeting the qualifications upon entering the Physics program from University of Kansas, the first two years are structured around classroom and lab instruction, supplemented by research projects and regular interaction with multiple research groups within the Department.

Features

Attendance at colloquia and seminars is either required or strongly encouraged.

Once a student has met the requirements for PhD candidacy and has been selected to work with a PhD advisor, the emphasis shifts to full-time research with the expectation of the completion and defense of a PhD thesis, typically within 2 to 4 years.
