Admissions

Admission to the Master of Medical Physics program is highly selective. Successful applicants will have strong academic credentials and will hold an undergraduate degree in physics, a physical science, mathematics, or related engineering discipline with a strong physics orientation. Applicants should have successfully completed intermediate-level coursework in electromagnetism and have taken at least four semesters of college-level calculus including differential equations. In addition, intermediate-level quantum mechanics and 2 semesters of college-level chemistry are preferred. A course in anatomy and physiology is also preferred but can be taken in the first graduate year. Prospective applicants who have not completed all of the above prerequisites (but are otherwise strong candidates) are still encouraged to apply and will be considered on a case by case basis. Questions about academic credentials should be directed to the program director.

Applicants are also required to submit test scores for the General GRE Test. In addition to the General Test, we recommend that applicants to the program sit for the Physics Subject Test or another Subject Test related to their undergraduate major.

We try to accommodate all prospective student requests for interviews and campus visits during the Fall application period.  Applicants who are under strong consideration, but have not yet visited campus, will be invited for an interview and tour.  All applicants are required to have interviewed with the program director and select program faculty (either in person or by phone if visiting in person is not possible) prior to being offered admission to the MMP Program.
