Double Major/Degree
Students interested in adding a second major or a second degree in Physics should schedule an appointment with a Physics Advisor to discuss the major requirements. Students who wish to proceed with adding Physics as a second major or degree will be asked to complete the Declaration of Additional Major form on the CMNS website and have it signed by both their current advisor and an advisor in the Physics Department, and then return the form to the Dean’s Office at 1300 Symons Hall.

Physics Minor
Students interested in adding a Physics minor should schedule an appointment with a Physics Advisor to discuss the minor requirements. After the meeting, students who wish to proceed with adding the minor should complete the Declaration of Minor form and return it to the Office of Student and Education Services.

Advising Process
Physics majors participate in a robust advising process that is designed to help them make the most of their time at the University and to get support from a variety of resources. The advising process is detailed in the flowchart below. advisingflowchart

 

Meet Paul Syers

Syers

Paul Syers recently defended his Ph.D. thesis, “Characterizing Unusual Behavior in Pristine Topological Insulator Bi2Se3”.

Paul did his research under the guidance of Dr. J. Paglione. In addition to his research, Paul has been active in the department. He was a founding member of the Graduate Student Committee, a member of GRAD-MAP, contributed to outreach programs, and a department representative for the UMD Graduate Student Government. We asked Paul to answer a few questions about his experience here at UMD Physics.
