All test scores will be reviewed in conjunction with the rest of the application. Assistantships, fellowships and scholarships are awarded on the basis of the above materials. The Graduate Admissions Committee, comprised of physics faculty, recommends admission and financial aid. Typically, only students interested in pursuing the PhD will be considered for aid. There are usually about fifty resident students in the program, all of whom receive full financial support.
Full support includes tuition and other fees, student health insurance, and a twelve-month stipend.
Approximately 12 full time students are admitted each fall. This number is determined primarily by departmental resources and funds available from state and federal agencies. Adequate resources have enabled us to offer full financial support to all students making satisfactory progress toward their degrees. We will then contact you and tell you what to do to get the fee waived.
