University of Pennsylvania
The University of Pennsylvania School of Arts and
Sciences forms the foundation of the scholarly
excellence that has established Penn as one of the
world's leading research universities. We teach
students across all 12 Penn schools, and our academic
departments span the reach from anthropology and
biology to sociology and South Asian studies.

Members of the Penn Arts & Sciences faculty are

leaders in creating new knowledge in their disciplines and are engaged in nearly every area of
interdisciplinary innovation. They are regularly recognized with academia's highest honors, including
membership in prestigious societies like the National Academy of Sciences, the American
Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the
American Philosophical Society, as well as significant prizes such as MacArthur and Guggenheim
Fellowships.

The educational experience offered by Penn Arts & Sciences is likewise recognized for its excellence.
The School's three educational divisions fulfill different missions, united by a broader commitment
to providing our students with an unrivaled education in the liberal arts. The College of Arts and
Sciences is the academic home of the majority of Penn undergraduates and provides 60 percent of
the courses taken by students in Penn's undergraduate professional schools. The Graduate Division
offers doctoral training to over 1,300 candidates in more than 30 graduate programs. And the College
of Liberal and Professional Studies provides a range of educational opportunities for lifelong learners
and working professionals.

(Physics 531/532).
 Satisfactory completion of four additional graduate-level courses with scores of B or better, at
least one of which must be offered by the Physics and Astronomy Department. Up to three
courses may be from other departments, provided they are in subjects related to Physics and
Astronomy.

In the Department of Physics and Astronomy, graduate courses are typically graded on a compressed
scale. Passing grades are assigned between B and A+: a B- or lower is given for poor performance.

Graduate application fee required: $90

Admission deadline (Fall admission): December 15

Admission requirements: Bachelor's degree in physics, astronomy or a related science. If the

Bachelor's degree is in another field, a strong physics minor is required. No minimum undergraduate

Scholarships

Can I get a full scholarship for Masters?

Luckily there are a number of great graduate student scholarships available! So whether you are
a masters student or a doctoral student you can receive funding to help pay for college (and also
eliminate your student debt burden).

What do you need to get a scholarship for Masters?

4
Having a good test score – GRE, GMAT, IELTS, TOEFL – will always increase your chances of
getting a scholarship. If you are one of those students who doesn't perform well in standardized tests,
but earned a great GPA in your undergraduate degree, you still have a decent shot at scholarships.

How much CGPA is required for scholarship?

It's up to a scholarship provider what the qualification criteria is for each scholarship. One of the
most common grade point average requirements is a 3.0 average. (Again, every scholarship provider
is different and it's up to them to set their eligibility criteria, not us.)
