January 5 is the deadline for applications for admission in the following autumn quarter. The Graduate Record Examination given by the Educational Testing Service is required of all applicants. Applicants should submit recent scores on the verbal, quantitative, and analytic aptitude tests and on the advanced subject test in physics. Arrangements should be made to take the examination no later than December in order that the results be available in time for the department's consideration. All full-time physics graduate students in good standing receive financial aid.
Most graduate students serve as teaching assistants in their first year.
A departmental counselor will be glad to answer questions.
