What is the level of first-year graduate classes? Since I already have a Master's degree in physics, can I skip some of the first-year graduate classes?
The level of first-year graduate classes is intended for physics majors who have graduated with a BS degree from a typical US college or university. Admitted applicants can request that a required course be waived based on previously completed graduate-level coursework in physics. Students can submit a transcript showing the grade earned and the syllabus from the previous course taken. If approved, an entering student and his/her curriculum advisor will normally tailor an appropriately shortened schedule of classes.
I have passed the PhD Qualifying/Candidacy Exam at another US university, but now I want to transfer to Kent State. Do I need to take this exam again?
We consider accepting the Candidacy Exam results from another US university on a case-by-case basis.
