| SSP Modules | AMO Modules | |
| PH 575 Introduction to SS Physics | PH 585 Introduction to AMO Physics | 3 credit 3 lectures per week |
| PH 671 Electron Transport (Ethan Minot) | PH 681 Topics in Modern Optics (Viktor Podolskiy) | 2 credit 5 week 1h20m 3 lectures per week |
| PH 672 Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics (Guenter Schneider) | PH 682 Semiconductor Optics (Ethan Minot) | |
| PH 673 Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (Oksana Ostroverkhova) | PH 683 Nonlinear Optics (Bill Hetherington) | |
| PH 674 Magnetism (Tom Giebultowicz) | PH 684 Ultrafast Optics and Coherent Spectroscopy (Yun-Shik Lee) |
The typical program for the PhD is as follows. Students are expected to take one of ph575/585 in year one and one in year two.
