The exams in items 4--6 are administered by external testing agencies at certain fixed times throughout the year. Please arrange to take these examinations sufficiently early so that the testing agency can forward the official scores to the University of Rochester by the January 1 deadline.
Our Graduate Admissions Committee usually begins its deliberations near the beginning of the calendar year, with decisions made on a continuous basis. Only completed applications are considered, so you are therefore encouraged to send in your forms as soon as possible. The application fee is currently waived for all graduate applications.
Students should indicate if they are applying to the PhD Program, the Professional MS program, or the 3/2 MS program. PhD applicants should also indicate if they wish to be considered for the Professional MS Program ( with individualized course plan selected from Physics, Applied Physics and Engineering) in case their application to the PhD program is unsuccessful. MS students may apply for admissions to the PhD program after a year).
Answers to any questions or concerns can be obtained from our Administrative Assistant for Graduate Affairs:
