Physics and Astronomy at Dartmouth grants the doctorate through the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies. Students apply online and are evaluated by the department's faculty.
Both the general GRE and the physics subject test are optional, which leaves the decision to send scores in the hands of each candidate. Transcripts and other supporting documents are provided electronically within the application.
Applicants from outside the United States show their English proficiency through standardized testing unless they meet an exemption. The department website provides information about faculty and research, and the graduate school hosts an FAQ for general questions about applying.
This page is a useful starting point for prospective students comparing graduate options, since it brings together the deadline, testing policy, and contacts in one place. Candidates are encouraged to read the department website as well and to reach out to the program contact with questions before submitting.
