Division of Medical Physics

the medical physics Graduate program

Our most competitive applicants are physics majors, medical physics majors or physics graduates with a good GPA in their physics coursework.  We also consider students from a physical science or engineering background who have at least 3 upper level (3000, 4000 or graduate) physics courses on their transcript. A GRE is not required but may be beneficial for some applicants who have a weaker GPA.

Fulfillment of these requirements provides eligibility for the initial certification in Radiological Physics by the ABR.

Candidates presented with some deficiencies in course work may be considered for admissions upon completion of the equivalency of a minor in physics. For example, if you an engineering degree and have taken one course that is PHYS 3xxx or higher, you may apply and be accepted conditionally.  You would then need to take the the other 2 upper level physics courses prior to matriculation or while in the graduate program.  Be advised that this is is not the prefereed pathway so you would need special permssion to seek this route of admission.
