| *In the second year, a Chemistry student is strongly encouraged to take Phys 222. |
For Fall 2004, because of the transition period, Phy 222 will not be
offered. Physics students will take one of the second year electives in
their first year and take Phy 222 their second year. They will need to
consult the faculty advisor about the choice of electives.

ELECTIVES
Students may choose
from these
courses or propose alternative courses requiring
dvisor approval.
Independent
research may NOT be used as an elective. Elective
selections are periodically updated. The UCI Course Catalog reflects the most
current course information.

Masters Thesis:
A
Masters
Thesis is
based
on a research project supervised by an advisor, and evaluated by the
student's
committee. The M.S. Thesis need be of no specified length or
format,
but must report significant findings in readable, meaningful form, and
must reveal the student's general grasp of the field and awareness of
related
work.
Qualifying
Exam:
Students who
pursue
the
Ph.D. will be required to take a Qualifying Examination by the end of
the
2nd year.
Advancement
to Candidacy:
A
candidacy examination is expected to be completed within a year of
starting the Ph.D. program. The examination is comprised of two parts:
(a) a written report on a topic to be determined in consultation with
the research advisor and (b) an oral report on research accomplished
and plans for completion of the Ph.D. dissertation.
Dissertation:
A dissertation
will
be
required without exception for the Ph.D. degree. The Ph.D.
dissertation
need be of no specified length or format, but must report results of an
original piece of work in readable, meaningful form, at the same time
revealing
the student's general grasp of the field and awareness of related
work.
roughly, a criterion for acceptability will be that the dissertation -
probably in condensed form - would be suitable for publication in a
recognized
journal. A final oral dissertation defense will be required of
Ph.D.
candidates.
