Qualification Requirements
Coursework Required for Admission Consideration: Applicants should have successfully completed coursework typically required for a bachelor's degree in Physics.
Bachelor's Degree in Discipline/Related Discipline: A baccalaureate degree in Physics is typically required. A certified transcript is required from each institution previously attended by the applicant.
Statement of Goals: In one to two pages, address your specific interest in Temple's program, research and career goals, and academic and research achievements.
Standardized Test Scores:
GRE: General Test required. Subject Test in Physics strongly recommended, but not required.
Applicants who earned their baccalaureate degree from an institution where the language of instruction was other than English, with the exception of those who subsequently earned a master's degree at a U.S. institution, must report scores for a standardized test of English that meet these minimums:
TOEFL iBT: 79
IELTS Academic: 6.5
550 on the paper-based (PBT)
The minimum admissions standard for all graduate students is ordinarily an undergraduate grade point average of B or 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or the functional equivalent for students who have attended universities outside of the United States.
