Hardcore Research Track
The curriculum is built around advanced quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, electrodynamics, nuclear physics, research methodology, and dissertation work. Think of it as a launchpad into Ph.D. programs and institutional research roles, not a corporate placement factory.
