1) Institutional Learning Objectives (ILOs) and Program Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
1. Developed skills or gained experience as a physics or science educator
2. Engage in advanced theoretical and experimental physics studies of core principles of physics, including Classical Mechanics (at the level of Goldstein), Electrodynamics (at the level of Jackson or Panofsky), Quantum Mechanics (at the level of Landau, Sakurai or Shankar) and Statisitical Mechanics (undergraduate level)
3. Establish expertise in focused areas of physical theory and experiment
4. Produced directed study or original research in theoretical or experimental physics in a specific discipline
5. Gained exposure in current topics in theoretical and experimental physics in specific areas of physics research
2) Your program's SLOs are published as follows. Please update as needed.







3) Please review, add, replace, or delete the existing curriculum map.

5) Did your program engage in any program learning assessment activities between June 1, 2015 and October 31, 2017?


6) What best describes the program-level learning assessment activities that took place for the period June 1, 2015 to October 31, 2017? (Check all that apply.)
SKIP
7) Briefly explain the assessment activities that took place in the last 28 months.
8) What types of evidence did the program use as part of the assessment activities checked in question 6? (Check all that apply.)





















9) State the number of students (or persons) who submitted evidence that was evaluated. If applicable, please include the sampling technique used.
10) Who interpreted or analyzed the evidence that was collected? (Check all that apply.)










11) How did they evaluate, analyze, or interpret the evidence? (Check all that apply.)







12) Summarize the results of the assessment activities checked in question 6. For example, report the percent of students who achieved each SLO.
13) What best describes how the program used the results? (Check all that apply.)









14) Please briefly describe how the program used the results.
15) Beyond the results, were there additional conclusions or discoveries? This can include insights about assessment procedures, teaching and learning, and great achievements regarding program assessment in this reporting period.
16) If the program did not engage in assessment activities, please explain.
There are currently no students enrolled in the Master's program. All current graduate students intend to obtain a doctoral degree, and thus are enrolled in the doctoral program, although they may also obtain a Master's degree.
