How and when should I choose a Major Professor (research supervisor)?
The Major Professor is the person who will supervise your research work during your time at K-State. You should talk to several faculty in your field of interest before making a final decision. According to the physics departments Graduate Student Guidelines, this should be done by the end of the second semester in graduate school for this requirement summer is not counted as a semester. Once this is done you should form your supervisory committee (see next question) and fill out the ‘Program of Study’ as soon as possible.
