The URI medical physics program requires that admitted students have a bachelor's degree in medical physics, physics, or a closely related field. For students without a degree in physics, we usually require students to have taken upper-level undergraduate physics courses in quantum mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics and classical mechanics, as well as linear algebra, differential equations, and 3 semesters of calculus (differential, integral, vector).
Applications to the program are done through the GradCAS system. Our admissions are rolling, starting with all applications submitted by February 15. GRE scores (general and physics) are accepted but not required. These applications include 3 letters of recommendation, transcripts, and a personal statement. There is no set format for the recommendation letters, which can either be submitted on-line or sent to the Department either by you (in sealed and signed envelopes) or directly by the letter's author. URI suggests a minimum GPA of 3.0 for graduate school applications.

URI has additional requirements for international applicants. Most important of these requirements is our TOEFL scores requirements: reading 20, listening 17, speaking 17, writing 22 or an IELTS of 6.5. If you have a degree from an American university the TOEFL exam is waived.
