8)Environmental Optics

Theprerequisite for admission is a four-year undergraduate degree in physics orits equivalent. Students with degrees in Mathematics, Nuclear Engineering,Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and any other fields withsignificant physics and mathematics background and a keen interest in furtherphysics training are routinely considered. In making admissions decisions,several measures are taken into account. Among these measures are undergraduategrade point average (the Graduate School prefers an undergraduate grade pointaverage of 3.0 on a 4 point scale), undergraduate course selections, and performanceon Graduate Record Exams when available.
