Applying to Princeton
1Eligibility for Admission
To be eligible for admission to the Graduate School applicants must, before they are enrolled, hold a bachelor’s degree or its foreign equivalent from an accredited college or university. (Foreign equivalents may in some cases have a normal program length that is shorter or longer than four years. No degree that has a normal program length shorter than three years will be considered equivalent to a bachelor's degree.)
You may apply to only one department, program, or combined program per year.
The Graduate School will not offer admission to an applicant seeking a second Ph.D. in the same or similar field of study.
1、入学申请资格
为了具备申请普林斯顿大学研究生学院的资格，申请者必须在登记之前，从公认的学院或者大学获得学士学位，或者是其他同等外国学历资格。(在一些情况下，外国同等学历资格的正常专业修读时间应该是少于或者多于4年。任何正常修读时间少于三年的学位专业都不能认为等同于学士学位。)
你每年只可以申请一个院系部门、专业或者是结合专业。
对于在相同或者相似学习领域追求第二个博士学位专业的学生，普林斯顿大学研究生学院不会提供录取资格。
2Explore
The Graduate School at Princeton University encourages interested individuals to explore our fields of study to find the field that best fits your academic and professional goals. More detailed information, including faculty listings, can typically be found on individual department and program websites accessible through our webpage.
Departments and Programs
Princeton University has 42 degree-granting departments and programs that admit students. Associated admission and degree requirements for each can be found within the Fields of Study listings. The University also offers a growing number of interdepartmental programs and offerings that allow students to work across disciplinary boundaries while still continuing to receive advanced training and a degree in the home department. Recognized interdepartmental programs are also listed in Fields of Study.
Joint Degrees
Princeton's Graduate School itself authorizes and offers four full joint-degree programs: interdisciplinary humanities, social policy, neuroscience, and materials science. Established joint degree programs allow participating students to earn a Ph.D. within a recognized discipline, but with a substantial research component of a related discipline. Students apply to a participating home department, and are usually accepted to a joint degree program after admission and enrollment. Students who successfully pursue a joint degree will receive a Ph.D. from their home department and from the affiliated program. Joint degree programs have their own listing within Fields of Study.
Princeton also participates in two established joint-degree programs with other institutions. Information about these can be found in the Fields of Study listings for the Woodrow Wilson School (for the M.P.A.-J.D. program), and the Department of Molecular Biology (for the M.D-Ph.D. program). Individual agreements or arrangements outside of these formal programs may also be possible with the support of a student's department and the Graduate School.
Graduate Certificates
The Graduate School currently authorizes (but itself does not grant) a number of graduate certificates that recognize students’ acquisition of special expertise through extra language study, required course work, participation in special workshops or colloquia, and (in the case of Ph.D. students) significant content in the general examination and/or the doctoral dissertation. Students are not admitted to the University via certificate programs. Because the Graduate School does not grant certificates, they do not appear on the transcript (but may be listed on a student's c.v. or credentialed in other ways by the granting department or program).
2、确定学习领域
普林斯顿大学研究生学院鼓励有兴趣的学生探索自己的学习领域，找到最适合自己的学术目标和职业目标的学习领域。更多的详细信息，包括院系清单，通常可以在普林斯顿大学官网上面的单独院系或者专业的网页上面找到。
(1)院系和专业
普林斯顿大学有42个学位授予院系和专业招收学生。每一个院系或者专业相关的招生条件和学位条件可以在学科领域列表内找到。普林斯顿大学提供了越来越多的跨院系专业和录取机会，这使得学生仍然可以继续在主院系接受高等训练和学位，同时也进行跨学科的学习。有关公认的跨学科专业的更多信息，可以在学科领域清单上面找到。
(2)联合学位
普林斯顿大学研究生学院自身授权和提供了四个完整的联合学位专业：跨学科人文学科、社会政策、神经科学、以及材料科学。建立联合学位专业让参与学生进行胆量的相关学科的研究学习，并且获得公认学科内的博士学位。学生申请参加主院系，通常可以在录取和注册之后进行联合学位专业的学习。成功追求一个联合学位专业学习的学生将会从他所在的主院系以及附属专业获得一个博士学位。联合学位专业在学习领域内有自己的专业清单。
普林斯顿大学也和其他的机构合作建立和两个联合学位专业。有关这些专业的信息可以在提供给伍德罗威尔逊学院(公共事务硕士-法学博士专业)，以及分子生物学系(医学博士-博士专业)的学习领域清单上面找到。不同于这些正常专业的单独协议以及安排可能获得学生所属院系部门以及研究生学院的支持。
(3)研究生证书
普林斯顿大学研究生学院目前授权了(但是它本身不能授予)一部分研究生证书，认可学生通过额外的语言学习、必需的课程学习、参与特殊工作室或者学术讨论会、以及(如果是博士学位学生的话)在一般考试以及/或者博士学位论文中的重要内容获得的专门知识。学生不能通过证书专业获得普林斯顿大学的录取资格。因为研究生学院不授予证书，所以它们不会出现在成绩单上面(但是可能列在学生的个人简历上，或者是由授予院系或者专业提供其他形式的凭证)。
