We strongly recommend that you have an MS degree in IP&T or related field prior to applying for the PhD program. If you currently do not have an MS degree, we encourage you to first apply for the MS program and then apply for the PhD towards the end of your MS degree. Those with MS degrees in IP&T are much more competitive for advanced study. Starting as an MS student will not slow down your progress because all the core coursework required for the MS is also required for the PhD. Up to 36 credits (of the total 39) can be applied from our MS program to the PhD requirements. (We can also accept up to 36 credits from a comparable graduate program under the discretion of the department chair.)

The PhD program requires about four years beyond a master’s degree. The topic for a PhD dissertation may be chosen from faculty specialties, which include applied mathematics, algebraic geometry, geometric analysis, dynamical systems, number theory, geometric and low-dimensional topology, mathematical biology, group theory, algebra, and operations research.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers a doctoral degree in Physics and Astronomy. Physics and Astronomy PhD students take graduate-level courses in astronomy, astrophysics or other related topics and perform original research culminating in a written dissertation. Tuition, insurance and stipend are typically provided to each student for 4 – 5 years. See https://physics.byu.edu/graduate/ for more details.

The application deadline for full consideration in the program is January 15 of each year. Applications may be submitted past this deadline but will only be reviewed after the review of on-time applications have been completed.
