Your goal the first year is to knock off the core courses and get to know the faculty and their research so you can start working on a project. Below are three example plans, which take into account that the core courses are extremely demanding, but an excellent preparation for subsequent course work and research. Your situation may justify another choice; there are many possibilities. The Graduate Studies FAQ has more information. To help get through this intense period, we recommend you find a study group.

Preferred Example I
