Academics & Admissions

Undergraduate Studies

See the degree requirements under Programs.

Graduate Studies

For the M.A., M.S., and Ph.D., thirty semester hours of acceptable undergraduate study in physics and mathematics through differential equations are usually required for admission to graduate study. New graduate students should obtain a set of departmental rules for examinations. These rules apply to all graduate degrees offered by the department.
