Applying to the LPL graduate program

For full consideration, applications for the Fall term should be received by January 8. Only complete applications will be considered. Applicants are expected to have strong preparation and exceptional academic achievement in physical or mathematical science. The Admissions Committee uses transcripts, GRE scores, and letters of recommendation to evaluate applicants. Most admitted students are awarded financial support in the form of research or teaching assistantships. A limited number of Graduate College Fellowships are also available on a competitive basis; all applicants to the Department will be considered as candidates for such awards.
