Admission requirements
In addition to the general requirements for admission to graduate programs in the Graduate School and the School of Medicine, students are expected to satisfy the following minimum standards for admission:
- Students must have a minimum of 30 semester credits in undergraduate physics, physical science or engineering, of which at least 18 credits must be at the upper level. Background courses should include calculus 1 and 2, linear algebra, differential equations, modern physics, and electricity and magnetism physics.
- Students must submit satisfactory GRE scores.
- Applicants must present minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4-point scale for undergraduate degree or most recently completed graduate degree.
Provisional admission may be granted where deficiencies exist. These deficiencies must be removed by the end of the first year of residence or its part-time equivalent, when the student’s application will be re-examined. Courses that are designed to remove deficiencies will not be accepted for credit toward the graduate degree.
