Students accepted into the Astronomy or Physics Ph.D. program can apply to the Astrophysics Committee for admission to the Astrophysics Ph.D. program after beginning their departmental residency. Candidates need to complete at least 90 credit hours, which must include four core Astronomy graduate courses, four core Physics graduate courses, and one extra core course in either Astronomy or Physics. Fulfilling these degree requirements means Astronomy Department students will simultaneously satisfy the physics minor prerequisites.

Qualification Requirements
A student should have the combined admission requirements of doctoral students in astronomy and physics; i.e., a thorough undergraduate training in physics and mathematics plus familiarity with general astronomy. Deficiencies must be removed early, usually without graduate credit.
A student in the Astrophysics Program must meet the foreign language/research-skill requirements (if any) of the department of residence.
Grades:
Grades below B (3.0) in astronomy and physics courses may be counted toward degree requirements only with the consent of the astrophysics committee.
Qualifying Examination:
There are three ways a student can pass the astrophysics qualifying examination.
Applicants whose native language is not English should submit proof of such proficiency by the time they apply for admission. Normally this is done by taking the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Results of this test should be submitted as part of the application for admission.
