The Clark graduate program in physics differs from most other physics graduate programs in the United States because our size and style encourage graduate students to become involved in research as early as their first semester. As a result, most students make an early transition from classroom work to the more active learning processes involved in doing research. Our formal courses are used to develop competency in the core areas of physics and to help the faculty evaluate student proficiency in formal classwork. Instead of a written qualifying examination, we rely on a series of oral examinations to encourage the development of the students' intuition and ability to think simply. As a result of our emphasis on early research participation and our style of teaching and evaluation, many students who might not do well in a bigger graduate program find that they thrive in our supportive environment. As a result of early research involvement, frequent contact with diverse visitors, and collaborative relations with others, graduate students at Clark gain an unusual degree of self-reliance. Consequently, our Ph.D. and M.A. recipients regularly obtain attractive positions in academia and industry.
