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.
For purpose of initial review, the Office of Admissions accepts unofficial transcripts. Applicants may upload unofficial transcripts within the academic background section of their application, or if not available at the time of application, through their application status page at a later date.

Applicants who receive an offer of admission should arrange to have official transcripts sent to the UF Office of Admissions from each post-secondary institution attended.
