Dipartimento di Fisica

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Oklahoma is seeking highly qualified and motivated applicants for our PhD graduate program. The application window is now open for the Fall 2014 entering class. We provide full financial support to our students (tuition waiver + stipend + health insurance).
THERE IS NO APPLICATION FEE.

We are seeking applicants interested in experiment and theory in the four broad areas of study:
Astronomy and Astrophysics Atomic, Molecular, Optical, and Chemical Physics Condensed Matter Physics High Energy Physics

We invite you to investigate the research pages of our individual faculty for more detailed information on their research interests. http://www.nhn.ou.edu/

Our colorful graduate brochure is also available. http://www.nhn.ou.edu/graduate-students/grbroch

Qualified applicants should have a minimum US equivalent of a BS in Physics or in a closely related field. The applicant should have upper division physics courses on their academic transcript with US equivalent grades of B or higher (e.g. Classical Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics). Research experience is desired, but is not required. The Physics Subject GRE exam scores are helpful, but not required. TOEFL/IELTS scores are generally required from international applicants for whom English is their second language. (see link to FAQ below)
All students are offered full financial support. Typically in the first year students are supported on Graduate Teaching Assistantships.
We begin evaluating applications in January for admission the following fall. Although we do not have a strict application deadline, we ask that students arrange for us to receive all their application materials by 15 February. Applications are evaluated on a rolling basis through April. Late applicants run the risk that we may have filled all the program slots for this year.

We are providing all applicants a NO FEE application option. Follow the instructions at:
