Total: Minimum of 30 hours of 6000 and
7000 level courses:
No more than 6 hours of 6000 level courses can be can be used for the
master's degree.
SAMPLE GRADUATE COURSE SEQUENCE
In consultation with
the Graduate Program Advisor and the Graduate
School, students select their course programs to fit their needs and
interests
in physics, mathematics. A typical
first-year program focuses on
course with the emphasis
shifting to research in the second year.
We emphasize that your actual course sequence
will depend on your
background. With this in mind, we list here a possible sample course
sequence.
