课程名称：Ph.D. Program in Applied Physics
- 授予学位：博士学位 (Doctoral)
- 授予机构：Cornell University
- 学院：College of Engineering, School of Applied and Engineering Physics
课程介绍：
This program is a research-oriented doctoral program that is designed to provide a flexible graduate education tailored to individual interests. It combines a core physics curriculum with research and study in one of several areas that deal either with the application of physics to a technical discipline or with the interface between physics and another area of science. Students who have majored in physics, in another physical science (e.g., chemistry), or in an engineering field are eligible for the program. This program is designed so that students can evaluate the many different research opportunities available before deciding on an area of specialization. Although most students join the research group of a faculty member in the graduate field of Applied Physics, students also is allowed to join a group that is outside applied physics-reflections of the tremendous flexibility offered to our graduate students-and begin their thesis research by the end of the first academic year. Most students complete the program under their original faculty supervisor, but if a student should decide to change research groups, the decision is subject only to the agreement of a new thesis supervisor.
- 国际学生入学要求：
Students seeking admission must have completed a bachelors’ degree. International students must take the GRE exam. Students whose native language is not English must take the TOEFL and have the official score reported to Cornell from the Educational Testing Service (ETS). Educational Testing Service provided a new Internet-based Test (iBT) version of the TOEFL. This new version will test all four language skills important for effective communication: writing, listening, reading, and speaking. Each section has its own score, and the Graduate School has set the following minimum scores for admissions: Writing: 20; Listening: 15; Reading: 20; Speaking: 22. Students will continue to accept scores for computer based (cBT) (213 minimum) and paper based (550 minimum) versions of the TOEFL that were taken within two years of the date.
