UMass Boston
The Applied Physics PhD has a structure that is distinct from other programs. All students are initially admitted into the master's program. Where it makes sense to extend from a master's thesis into a doctoral dissertation, students in the master's program who develop a research relationship with a faculty member, are transferred into the PhD upon successful completion of a portion of the Qualifying Exam.
