A score above 550 is required for consideration for a teaching fellowship. Supplementary training in English may be required after arrival if the score is below 600. Therefore, preference for both admission and financial aid is given to applicants with scores above 600. GTFs require approximately 18 hours of work a week and provide a stipend and tuition waiver.
New students are typically eligible only for teaching fellowships.
The sequential nature of most physics courses makes it difficult to begin graduate study in terms other than fall. Furthermore, financial aid is usually available only to students who begin their studies in the fall. To be guaranteed full consideration, applications must be received by January 15. Application materials may be obtained from the Department of Physics, University of Oregon, Eugene OR 97403.
