The Physics Department offers Ph.D. and M.S. degrees. Teaching assistantships are offered to beginning graduate students. Stipends usually include summer support if the student wishes. Usually as students begin research work for their dissertation, they are awarded a research assistantship supported by contracts and grants won by their major professor. Graduate students who pass the Qualifying Exam for Ph.D. receive an increase in their stipend.
The physics department welcomes visits by prospective graduate students. Arrangements can be made for lab tours and visits with faculty and often part of the travel costs can be supplied by the physics department. If you would like to visit the physics department, contact Prof. J.D. Perez to arrange an available day.
