Admission Requirements
The Medical Physics Graduate Program is open to students with backgrounds in engineering, Biomedical Engineering (BME), physics, applied math, chemistry, neuroscience, or computer science. Students with degrees in the biological sciences require documented completion of coursework in these quantitative areas to be considered for the program. All students must possess at least a minor in physics, or an undergraduate degree in engineering, BME, physics, applied math, chemistry, neuroscience, or computer science.
- The GRE is optional. Proficiency in English is expected as evidenced by TOEFL or IELTS scores. Transcripts from institutions outside the US and not in English will be verified and translated by WES or IERF.
- Students must submit a complete application including 3 letters of recommendation, a personal statement, and a CV/resume.
- Demonstration of programming skills is required, whether through successful completion of relevant coursework or by demonstration in a lab setting.
