GRADUATE PROGRAMS
The University of Toledo graduate programs in the Department of Physics and Astronomy
develop a strong and broad foundation in fundamental physics, while simultaneously
teaching the mathematical and problem-solving skills necessary to advance knowledge
of our physical world. Coursework is tailored to your specific area of research concentration,
with flexibility, so that you acquire the skills necessary to complete an innovative,
important and original thesis research project.
In the Ph.D. in Physics program, students take courses from the core curriculum during the first and second years. While some students may begin research immediately (oftentimes in addition to coursework and teaching assistant duties), they will typically join a research group starting the summer following the first year. Following the second year, students are primarily focused on their thesis research with their faculty advisor, ultimately defending their thesis once they have mastered a substantial body of innovative research.
UToledo also offers a M.S. in Physics with concentrations in photovoltaics and materials science.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy has a long tradition of preparing our graduate degree recipients to launch successful, rewarding careers. Students can count on the best possible mentoring from their Ph.D. research advisors - see list of recent graduates.
