Graduate Programs
Areas of active research within the Department include,
biological physics, optical physics, condensed matter physics, and
physics
education. Interdisciplinary research is common. Strong collaborations
exist between our faculty and members of other departments of the
School of Science, and with the School of Medicine, School of
Engineering and Technology and the School of Informatics. Students seeking to enroll in the program should have a
bachelors degree and a background in the usual undergraduate courses in
physics, mathematics and other sciences. Graduates from related fields
of study in pure and applied sciences, and engineering, may be accepted
on a probationary basis until they have completed any necessary
undergraduate courses in physics. The GRE is normally expected of all
applicants, and is strongly recommended for foreign applicants, who
must also demonstrate English proficiency through the TOEFL. The department will accept a maximum of 6 transfer hours of graduate credit from approved institutions.
