Eligibility & Admissions Process

Information about the application process to the Medical Physics Track of the Biomedical Engineering Program can be found here.

Important dates:

  • Aug. 1: Applications open
  • Dec. 1: Application deadline
  • January–March: Interviews and offers made
  • April 15: Applicants must inform graduate school of decision
  • Mid-August: Courses and rotations begin

Requirements:

  • Applicants must have a strong background in basic physics, as demonstrated either by an undergraduate or graduate degree in physics, or by a degree in an engineering discipline or another of the physical sciences and with coursework that is the equivalent of a minor in physics (i.e., one that includes at least three upper-level undergraduate physics courses that would be required for a physics major).
  • Applicants must meet general requirements of Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.
