2016 Report
Status
ISU's Physics graduate program began offering Ph.D.s in Applied Physics in 2006 with its first Ph.D. graduate occurring in 2009. Previously, Ph.D.s degrees were awarded in Engineering and Applied Science, a multi-displinary graduate program. The physics department grew in faculty to serve this new degree in the following years reaching a peak of thirteen in 2009. The number of full time Physics faculty has been steadily dropping since 2009 and currently stands at seven full time physics faculty. As expected, this drop in faculty has resulted in fewer graduate students entering the program, a trend we seek to reverse with curriculum changes as well as an increase in the number of full time physics faculty.
