- The programs will be combined into a single Physics PhD program, allowing students to specialize in their area of interest while receiving one diploma.
- Current students enrolled in these programs will be allowed to complete their degrees under the existing structure.
- The consolidation aims to reduce administrative complexity rather than completely eliminating the affected programs.
