Other admissions information
Undergraduate preparation assumed: Students are normally expected to have taken intermediate-level courses in mechanics, electricity and magnetism, quantum physics, statistical mechanics, and experimental physics. Typical texts are Marion and Thornton, Griffiths, Brehm and Mullin, Stowe, and Liboff. However, students may take a limited number of remedial courses after enrollment where inadequate preparation has been available, but where other courses and grade records indicate adequate ability.
