Looking for infos on UW Milwaukee

[quasar_4]

Hi everyone,

Can anyone tell me their thoughts on the the physics department at UW Milwaukee? I know it isn't as highly ranked as Madison, but I think they are known for gravitational physics... is this right? I'm looking to go into gravitational physics (probably will pursue gravitational wave physics especially) and am trying to find out which schools are best, BESIDES the Ivies & Penn State.

Thanks.

Hello quasar_4,

I work at UWM, so I may not be the most neutral voice about UWM. But the Center for Gravitation and Cosmology within the UWM Department of Physics has several outstanding faculty including the remarkable Leonard Parker:

You might consider contacting a few former students at the program for their opinions. Search them out here:

I went to UW Milwaukee! However not for Physics :frown: Best thing you can do is go visit and take a tour if it's not too much of a trip. Go Panthers!
