Dear Prospective Ph.D. Student,<br class="">
<br class="">
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Oklahoma is seeking highly qualified and motivated applicants for our PhD graduate program. The Physics and Astronomy Ph.D. program at the University of Oklahoma has a very active research program.
In the last four years we have added 8 new faculty, with another two new hires planned for next year.<o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">
The<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="" class="">graduate student<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>application window is now open for the Fall 2015 entering class. We provide full financial support to our students (tuition
waiver + stipend + health insurance).<br class="">
THERE IS NO APPLICATION FEE.<br class="">
<br class="">
We are seeking applicants interested in experiment and theory in the four broad areas of study:<br class="">
<br class="">
Astronomy and Astrophysics<br class="">
Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics<br class="">
Condensed Matter Physics<br class="">
High Energy Physics<br class="">
<br class="">
Information on our graduate program and research projects can be found at:<br class="">
<a href="http://www.nhn.ou.edu/research" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">http://www.nhn.ou.edu/research</a><br class="">
<br class="">
Our graduate brochure is also available at:<br class="">
<a href="http://www.nhn.ou.edu/graduate-students/grbroch" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">http://www.nhn.ou.edu/graduate-students/grbroch</a><br class="">
<br class="">
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)<br class="">
<br class="">
All students are offered full financial support. Typically in the first year students are supported on Graduate Teaching Assistantships.<br class="">
<br class="">
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 01 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.<br class="">
<br class="">
We are providing all applicants a NO FEE application option. Follow the instructions at:<br class="">
