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.
