Admission to the Master of Science Program

Applicants who qualify for admission typically have a strong background in physics, a physical science or engineering. The departmental admissions committee will evaluate and select applicants on the basis of the following criteria:

• BS or BA degree in physics, related engineering, or physical science from an accredited college/university, with course work at least equivalent to a minor in physics.
• Previous academic background and a minimum GPA of 3.0.
• Official transcripts and physics coursework
• General GRE
• Three letters of recommendation
• A personal interview (when possible)
• Proficiency in spoken and written English.
• Recent TOEFL results for applicants whose native language is not English. 
• All transcripts from an institution in any country other than the United States must have a course-by-course evaluation. Either WES or ECE agencies may be used for foreign transcript evaluation

Upon admission, the candidate is required to send a letter of intent to enroll in our program and a $500 non-refundable placement fee (credited toward the first quarter’s tuition). Application materials for the Medical Radiation Physics Master of Science program may be obtained by:
