Admission Requirements
for Study in Physics
The admissions requirements for the Department of Physics are "holistic," in
the sense that we have a goal of evaluating the whole of the applicant's
qualifications, without imposing firm, arbitrary cutoffs on particular test
scores. However, we have expectations that a prospective student will have
-
taken the Advanced GRE exam in Physics (provisional admission is
possible before the exam is taken)
-
if an international applicant, scored over 580 on the TOEFL (213 on
the new scale)
-
maintained a grade point average of 2.8/4.0 or better in their last
60 hours.
Any of these expectations may be ignored if a prospective student can show
the promise of a successful graduate career based on such other factors as
work experience, research experience, demonstrated leadership, or unusual
desire.
