Ph.D. Degree RequirementsThe Doctor of Philosophy in American Studies requires the completion of eight courses (24 credit hours), the comprehensive examination, enrollment indissertation hours, and the dissertation. In consultation with the faculty advisor, the student develops a plan of work that will provide expertise in threeconcentration fields of study. The comprehensive examination certifies the student’s preparation in the concentration fields, and readiness to conduct researchat a professional level. PhD students may choose to earn the MA in American Studies while pursuing the doctorate, upon completion of their courserequirements and the defense of a publishable article. The PhD program culminates in the completion and defense of the dissertation.

MA in American Studies. Upon completion of PhD course requirements, the student may choose to present presents a publishable article manuscript anddefend defends it to to a committee. The committee assesses the manuscript and oral defense with a grade of Pass or No Pass, by majority vote. Thisdefense serves as an exam for the MA in American Studies.

Studies.Students who are admitted to the doctoral program already holding the MA in American Studies or a closely related field may petition theDepartment to waive this requirement and proceed without undergoing the article defense and earning an additional MA.Such a waiver of the MA inAmerican Studies is at the discretion of the Graduate Committee.Transition from the MA Program. Students admitted to the MA in American Studies atKU must petition the Department if they wish to continue for the PhD. This requires an internal application process, including the submission of a researchstatement and letter of support from a KU American Studies faculty member. All admissions to the PhD program are at the discretion of the GraduateCommittee.Comprehensive Examination. Following the completion of required courses, the student enrolls in AMS 997 Examination Preparation to prepare for thecomprehensive examination. In consultation with the faculty advisor, the student may also enroll in additional seminars or directed readings courses toprepare. When the advisor deems the student prepared, the student may apply to the Department to take the comprehensive examination, which is in twoparts. The student must first sit for a time-limited, open-materials written examination to qualify for the oral. With a passing grade on the written examination,the student may sit for the oral examination before the examination committee. Candidacy is conferred after a successful oral examination.Dissertation. The dissertation must be an original work of research that advances the interdisciplinary field of American Studies. The student must submit abrief prospectus of the dissertation project, including a detailed plan of work. All members of the dissertation committee must endorse the prospectus in orderfor the project to go forward. Upon completion of the dissertation research the student must defend the dissertation before all committee members in the “finaloral examination,” or dissertation defense. The student satisfies the dissertation requirement with a majority vote of “Satisfactory” by the dissertationcommittee. The committee may also recommend the student for Honors, which is a designation conferred by the Department at graduation.University Requirements. Throughout the course of doctoral study, the student must fulfill all relevant College and University policies, such as thoseconcerning doctoral residency, time constraints, continuous enrollment, human subjects review, electronic filing, and graduation.Handbook. Further details about meeting the degree requirements can be found in the Department’s Graduate Handbook.

The department would like to make the MA article/thesis defense optional rather than required. Students will have the option to obtaintheir MA along the way to the PhD, but it will not be a requirement.

3. Other required courses:Course List

Code Title HoursPHSX 717 Graduate Seminar 1PHSX 718 Mathematical Methods in Physical Sciences 3PHSX 815 Computational Methods in Physical Sciences 3PHSX 871 Statistical Physics I 3PHSX 931 Electrodynamics II 3

4. Two additional PHSX lecture courses numbered 700 or above. This excludes PHSX 815 (computational physics) and PHSX 717 (graduateseminar). The 2 courses must be in different sub-fields of physics and they may not be used to simultaneously satisfy other degree requirements inforce.5. One credit hour of Colloquium is required (PHSX 700). See Department website for explanation.See “Colloquium and Graduate Seminar for an explanation.”6. All graduate students, after their first semester, will deliver at least 1 oral presentationper semester.

The courses listed above comprise the Department course requirements common to all students except those pursuing a multi-disciplinary plan of study, whichis described below. Subsequent work, consisting of advanced courses in appropriate fields and seminars, will be selected by the student and the advisor on thebasis of the student's need and intended field of specialization. The student's dissertation committee will determine the adequacy of the student's courses andseminars and will specify the total course requirements..Students who wish to pursue a more multidisciplinary plan of study may incorporate coursework from up to 2 other natural science, engineering, ormathematics (STEM) departments at KU by substituting non PHSX courses at the 600 level and above from these other disciplines for the 2 additional electivesdescribed in items 3 and 4 above. The research advisor, or in the absence of one, the Departmental Graduate Advisor (who is the default advisor for allstudents without a research advisor), shall approve all such outside course choices and provide documentation for the student file on the approved courses andtheir rationale.Students who wish to take courses in the social sciences, humanities, or professional schools must submit a detailed plan of study that must be approved bythe Physics and Astronomy Graduate Committee. Please note that while these unique plans involving non-STEM fields will be considered, there is noguarantee that the plan of study will be approved.

Preliminary CandidacyTo be admitted to preliminary candidacy, each graduate student must satisfy the following department requirements:

A. Within 12 months of entering the program the student must fulfill the requirements of the individualized plan of study for all graduate degrees to certify anundergraduate knowledge of Physics. Visit the Department's website for more information on those requirements and the process of certification.

B. Achieve a minimum core course grade point average of 3.2. The core course GPA is computed from the following equally weighted elements:

A. Grade obtained in PHSX 711 Quantum Mechanics I

B. Grade obtained in PHSX 811 Quantum Mechanics II

C. Grade obtained in PHSX 821 Classical Mechanics

D. Grade obtained in PHSX 831 Electrodynamics I

E. Average grade of 2 other PHSX lecture courses numbered 700 or higher, excluding PHSX 815 (computational physics) and PHSX 717 (graduateseminar).

C. Students may repeat of the core courses (PHSX 711, PHSX 811, PHSX 821, PHSX 711, PHSX 821, and PHSX 831) once for the purpose of improving thecore GPA. In calculating the core GPA, the Department will use only the better of the two grades.

D. The two additional 700 level or higher PHSX lecture courses (#4 under course requirements) must be taken at KU, but students entering with graduate creditfrom other institutions may petition the Graduate Committee for a waiver for any of the 4 named core courses. For the purposes of the core GPA, grades (of"B" or better) from the previous institution may be used for at most 3 of the 4 named courses.

E. Graduate students are normally expected to complete all core courses by the end of their second year of enrollment.

Decision on Preliminary CandidacyOnce requirements for Preliminary Candidacy have been met, the Graduate Committee will decide whether or not to admit the student to PreliminaryCandidacy. Once requirements for Preliminary Candidacy have been met and confirmed by the Graduate Committee, the Graduate Committee Chair will reportthis result to the Graduate Faculty.

Research Skills and Responsible ScholarshipBy the end of 1 year after being admitted to preliminary candidacy, the student must complete PHSX 815/ASTR 815, Computational Physics and Astronomy,with a grade of "B" or higher in order to satisfy the Research Skills requirement. Note that this course has significant prerequisites in undergraduate ComputerScience. The Responsible Scholarship requirement is filled via completion of PHSX 717.

Pedagogical InstructionEvery student who receives a GTA appointment will be required to complete PHSX 702 at the first offering of the course starting with the semester of thestudent's initial GTA appointment. Failure to complete this class at the first opportunity may affect consideration for subsequent GTA appointments.

Comprehensive ExaminationAfter completing a major portion of the required course work and satisfying the computing skills requirement, the student must pass the comprehensiveexamination.The student will write a 2,000 to 4,000 word paper on a topic in their chosen sub-field that is relevant to their thesis work.

Post-Comprehensive RequirementsUpon passing the comprehensive examination, the student becomes a candidate for the Ph.D. degree. Each candidate must complete a research project thathas been approved by the dissertation committee. The committee establishes the candidate's course requirements and directs the research.At least once each year after passing the comprehensive examination, the student must schedule a meeting with his or her dissertation committee to discussprogress towards the completion of the dissertation and any other concerns.

Final Oral ExaminationTo be awarded the PhD in Physics, a candidate for the degree must complete a dissertation and pass a final oral examination.The departmental web page with some additional information, e.g., the Graduate Handbook and milestones, can be found at http://physics.ku.edu/graduate-studies
