• In addition, nine semester credit hours of electives must be completed in physics, mathematics, or an allied field. These must be chosen in consultation with one's adviser.
  • For example, an advanced course in the Mathematics Department along with Solid State I and II in the Physics Department might be reasonable choices for someone interested in a materials specialization.
  • For others, one or more courses from the Electrical Engineering Department might be preferable. The remaining six semester hours must be thesis research credits designated as PHYS 5000.
