Graduate Program Alumni

 

The University of Arizona and the Department of Astronomy conferred our first Ph.D.’s in Astronomy in 1965. In 2017, with the approval of the Board of Regents and the University, the Ph.D. offered by the Department of Astronomy was renamed Doctor of Philosophy in Astronomy and Astrophysics. 

Starting during the pandemic of 2020, some of our Ph.D. student dissertation defenses were recorded and are available at this location.
