A bachelor's degree with good academic standing in physics, applied physics or a closely-related discipline from an accredited college or university is required for admission to the applied physics graduate program. Applicants with degrees from fields other than physics or applied physics may be admitted, but must fulfill certain prerequisite courses before being considered for acceptance. These courses may include electromagnetism, modern physics, and/or mechanics. Students are expected to enter the program with at least an introductory background in physics, mathematics, chemistry and computer science. Undergraduate courses specified for this purpose cannot count toward credits needed for the master's degree. Letters of recommendation, GRE and TOEFL scores and application letters will also be considered in the admissions process.
