The Department of Physics offers the Master of Science (thesis or<br />

nonthesis) and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The nonthesis<br />

Master of Science in Teaching is also offered. Requirements for<br />

these degrees are described in the General Information section of<br />

this catalog. Areas of specialization for graduate research include<br />

astrophysics and cosmology, atomic and molecular physics,<br />

biological physics, chemical physics, condensed matter physics<br />

(theory and experiment), nuclear physics, particle physics (theory<br />

and experiment), statistical physics, and low temperature physics.<br />

Special interdisciplinary research programs include the Institute for<br />

Fundamental Theory (carried out jointly with the Department of<br />

Mathematics), the Institute for Theoretical and Computational<br />

Studies in Molecular and Materials Science (carried out jointly with<br />

the Department of Chemistry), the Institute of High Energy and<br />

Particle Astrophysics, and Microfabritech (jointly with the College of<br />

Engineering). A curriculum is offered by the Center for Chemical<br />

Physics for students interested in research related to chemistry or<br />

chemical engineering. The Center for Condensed Matter Sciences<br />

provides opportunities for investigations in a diverse range of<br />

subjects and fields, including the Microkelvin Research Laboratory.<br />

The University of Florida operates the National High Magnetic Field<br />

Laboratory jointly with Florida State University and Los Alamos<br />

National Laboratory. The core curriculum is designed to provide a<br />

thorough foundation for all physics graduate students. It consists of
