The graduate program in physics and astronomy is directed primarily towards the PhD degree, emphasizing completion of an original and significant research investigation. The department will, however, award a M.S. degree signifying a knowledge of physics well beyond the undergraduate level but without the comprehensive background and intensive research effort of the Ph.D.
The departmental research program presently emphasizes experimental and theoretical works in particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, astrophysics, and astronomy.
A Bachelor's degree in physics, astronomy, or a related science is required. The GRE general test is required. The GRE subject test in physics is required. If the degree is not in physics, a strong physics minor is necessary. Applicants whose native language is not English are required to take the TOEFL exam to demonstrate proficiency in English.
