The prerequisite for the physics graduate program is a four-year undergraduate degree in physics or a closely related field from an accredited institution. Entering graduate students are expected to have a strong undergraduate foundation in general physics, classical mechanics, elementary quantum mechanics, modern physics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics, in addition to mathematics through differential equations and calculus. Promising students who lack proper background in one or more of these areas will still be considered for admission, but may expect to spend a portion of their first year taking transitional remedial courses.
