If you have been admitted to the graduate physics PhD or MSE program, congratulations! We are excited to meet you, and would be happy to answer any and all questions you have about the program, student body, and life in Atlanta.

First, check out the FAQ below and explore some other information on this website. Under the resources tab, we have the “First-Year Course Instruction Guidelines,” which is a set of rules that the instructors of your first-year, core courses have agreed to abide by. Also under the resources tab is the “TA Guidelines,” a document that details the workload expectations of TAs. If you want a technical look at graduation requirements, see the Grad Handbook.

If you are an incoming Physics Master’s student, some of the below FAQ questions may not apply. Instead, we recommend checking out the Master’s Program Requirements and the Current Graduate Students page for all physics graduate students. If you have more specific questions about being a Master’s student in Physics at Tech, feel free to reach out to GAP through our contact us page!

If you still have questions, you have a few options. For technical questions about enrollment, deferral or transfer credit, please contact Gary Longstreet. If you have questions about what it’s like to be a grad student or about specific faculty, you can email Zachary Gazzillo (zgazzillo3@gatech.edu) or anyone else on GAP from our About/Contact Us pages.
