Admission Requirements

Application deadlines:

• June 1 for Fall
• November 1 for Spring

In addition to the criteria below, applicants must meet general graduate admissions requirements .

Candidates for admission to the program should have or submit the following:

• A grade of B or higher in calculus and higher-level math classes such as linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, and complex analysis.
• A grade of B or higher in physics courses, especially in undergraduate quantum mechanics courses.
• Three letter of recommendation. Letters from non-academic associates are accepted, but at least one letter must speak authoritatively to the student’s academic preparation.
• A personal statement spelling out career goals and interests in the applied physics degree.

Note: The GRE is not required. However it is strongly recommended for foreign students to allow us to appropriately scale their performance to students from domestic programs.
