Students are held to the terms of the handbook that is in effect when they matriculate, unless changes in University, Graduate School, or Program policy require otherwise. The full details of the program requirements can be found in the GUIDE.
Please note – this handbook is associated with the PhD-Physics, MS-Physics (Research), and MA-Physics programs. Please visit the MSPQC website for the handbook associated with the MS-Physics (Quantum Computing) program.
