Physics, PhD at George Mason University

The degree program contains a Standard concentration for traditional physics programs that focus on Astrophysics, Condensed Matter Theory, Dynamical Systems/Biological Physics, High Energy Physics, Materials Physics, Space Sciences, and an Engineering Physics concentration that combines the disciplines of physics, mathematics, and engineering. The doctoral students accepted into each concentration of the Physics PhD program take a required set of core courses for the given concentration (see Requirements tab). By working with the dissertation committee, a student in the Standard concentration may choose to specialize in an emphasis area such as Astrophysics, Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics, Condensed Matter Experiment, Condensed Matter Theory, Dynamical Systems/Biological Physics, High Energy Physics, Materials Physics, Space Sciences, or others according to his or her particular in
