Thank
you for your interest in the Applied Physics
Program. The Applied Physics Program is designed for students
intending to pursue coursework and research leading to the
Ph.D. degree. Accordingly, students are not admitted as candidates
for the Master of Science degree. However, our students are
usually eligible to receive a Masters degree in Applied Physics
or Electrical Engineering at the time they become candidates
for the Ph.D. degree.
Admissions process:
a completed application and transcripts of all previous academic
records; Graduate Record Examination general scores and the
Physics subject test scores (recommended but not required);
personal statement; statement of purpose; three letters of recommendation with at
least two of the letters from an academic institution. Students
from non-English speaking countries are required to demonstrate
proficiency in English via the various examinations. To see minimum
scores for admission, please visit https://umich-rackham.custhelp.com/cgibin/umich_rackham.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1619.
The admission committee will take into account the applicant's
background in the physical sciences, engineering physics and
related disciplines. A good grounding in basic physics is
expected with at least 15 hours of introductory and intermediate
coursework in classical mechanics, statistical physics, electricity
and magnetism, and quantum physics. Applications will be processed
for fall term admission.
