Georgetown's Department of Physics offers a doctoral program and a master's program. Doctoral students can choose between two tracks, depending on their interests and goals. The standard track offers a traditional, academia-focused Ph.D. experience, while Georgetown's unique Industrial Leadership in Physics (ILP) track is designed to prepare students for scientific careers in industry. Both tracks combine advanced coursework in physics and related fields with significant original research leading to the Ph.D. dissertation. Throughout the curriculum, teamwork and communication skills are emphasized. In the ILP track, students are also introduced to business fundamentals and have the opportunity to participate in a year-long apprenticeship at the site of an industrial partner. The apprenticeship provides students with real-world experience in an R&D environment, industrial mentors, and networking opportunities, all while meeting academic goals.
