Undergraduate Preparation:
Applicants are expected to have a degree in physics or a related discipline from an accredited institution.
Standardized Tests:
Scores from the GRE General or Physics subject exam are not required to apply but will be considered if submitted. For example, Physics GRE scores can be useful in evaluating applicants with a non-standard path to graduate study in physics. All applications will receive full consideration whether GRE scores are submitted or not.
TOEFL Exam:
The TOEFL exam is required for all international students, but a waiver may be requested if English is the primary language of instruction at your undergraduate institution. The minimum iBT TOEFL score is 90, with sectional minimums of 22 in speaking, 22 in writing, 23 in reading and 23 in listening.
