The group offers courses in advanced physics the through the Wake Forest University Department of Physics. Typically two courses are offered each year with specialty seminars sometimes announced. Advanced students are encouraged to voice their opinions as to which courses they would like taught in a given semester.

PhD. students in the Carroll Research Group are asked to:
-
1.Complete a reading list (a collection of texts that defines our common language)
-
2.Complete all 600-level courses offered by the group (above)
-
3.Demonstrate at group meeting an excellent knowledge of current literature in their field.
Our Reading List (2018/19):
Essential Solid State Physics is to be released early in 2019. However, group members can have a early version to read now...
One Dimensional Metals is available in eBook form from Amazon. (Hardbacks are a little expensive)
